The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst;the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings.There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece.They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod— as the Lord commanded Moses.They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth— the work of a weaver—

“ Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen— the work of skilled hands.It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened.Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it— of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.“ Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israelin the order of their birth— six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settingsand fasten them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear the names on his shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.Make gold filigree settingsand two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings.“ Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions— the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.It is to be square— a span long and a span wide— and folded double.Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst;the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings.There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.“ For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece.Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.“ Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord.Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.“ Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar around this opening, so that it will not tear.Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them.The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe.Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he comes out, so that he will not die.
