Exodus 39:6-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. And they wrought the onyx stones, inclosed in settings of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

7. And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

8. And he made the breastplate, the work of the skilful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9. It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double.

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 jaspar: they were inclosed in inclosings of gold in their settings.

14. And 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 according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
