39:11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

39:12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

39:13And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

39:14And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
