Exodus 28:15-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. Make an embroidered chest pendant used for making decisions. Make it in the style of the vest, using gold, blue and purple and deep red yarns, and fine twisted linen.

16. It will be square and doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide.

17. Set in it four rows of gemstone settings. The first row will be a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald stones.

18. The second row will be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a moonstone.

19. The third row will be a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

20. The fourth row will be a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Their settings will be made of decorative gold.

21. There will be twelve stones with names corresponding to the names of Israel’s sons. They will be engraved like official seals, each with its name for the twelve tribes.

22. Make chains of pure gold twisted like cords for the chest pendant.

23. Make two gold rings for the chest pendant and attach the two rings to the two edges of the chest pendant.

24. Attach the two gold cords to the two rings at the edges of the chest pendant.

25. Then fasten the two ends of the cords to the two settings, which you should attach to the vest’s two front shoulder pieces.
