  • Exod 28:9-9 : 9 Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel. 10 Engrave six of their names on one stone and the remaining six names on the other stone, in the order of their birth. 11 Engrave the two stones with the work of a gem cutter, as one would engrave a seal. Mount them in gold filigree settings. 12 Place the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear their names before the LORD on his shoulders as a memorial. 13 Make gold filigree settings. 14 Make two pure gold chains of braided work, and attach the braided chains to the settings. 15 Make a breastpiece for decision-making, the work of a skilled artisan. It is to be made like the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely twisted linen. 16 It shall be square when folded, a span in length and a span in width. 17 Mount on it a setting of stones, four rows of stones: the first row shall be a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald. 18 The second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond. 19 The third row shall be a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 20 The fourth row shall be a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be mounted in gold settings. 21 The stones shall correspond to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, engraved like a signet, each with its name representing one of the twelve tribes.
