|
| 8 | He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen. | Making the breastplate. Ex.39.8-21 | Ex.28.15-30 |
| 9 | It was square; the breastpiece was made double, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled. | |
| 10 | And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row; | |
| 11 | and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; | |
| 12 | and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; | |
| 13 | and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were enclosed in settings of gold filigree. | |
| 14 | There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel; they were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes. | |
| 15 | And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold; | |
| 16 | and they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece; | |
| 17 | and they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece. | |
| 18 | Two ends of the two cords they had attached to the two settings of filigree; thus they attached it in front to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod. | |
| 19 | Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod. | |
| 20 | And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at its joining above the skilfully woven band of the ephod. | |
| 21 | And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it should lie upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod; as Yahweh had commanded Moses. | |
