16. It shall have four corners and be doubled. It shall have the measure of the palm of a hand, both in length and in width.
17. And you shall set within it four rows of stones. In the first row, there shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald.
18. In the second, there shall be a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper.
19. In the third, there shall be a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst.
20. In the fourth, there shall be a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
21. And these shall have the names of the sons of Israel. With twelve names shall they be engraved: each stone with one name from the twelve tribes.
22. You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,
23. and two rings of gold, which you shall place at both ends of the breastplate.
24. And the golden chains, you shall join to the rings, which are at its edges.
25. And the ends of the chains themselves, you shall couple with two hooks, on both sides of the ephod, which looks toward the breastplate.
26. You shall also make two rings of gold, which you shall place at the ends of the breastplate, at the borders which are away from the region of the ephod and which look toward its back.
27. And then you shall also make two other rings of gold, which are to be suspended on both sides at the bottom of the ephod, which looks out opposite the face of the lower juncture, so that the breastplate can be fitted to the ephod.
28. And it shall be drawn tight to the rings of the breastplate, by the rings of the ephod, with a hyacinth band, so that the well-constructed juncture will remain in place, and the breastplate and the ephod will not be able to be separated from one another.
