7. Then these were attached to the shoulder straps of the apron, so the Lord would never forget his people. Everything was done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8. The breastpiece was made with the same materials and designs as the priestly apron.
9. It was twenty-two centimetres square and folded double
10. with four rows of three precious stones: a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald were in the first row;
11. a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond were in the second row;
12. a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst were in the third row;
13. and a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper were in the fourth row. They were mounted in a delicate gold setting,
14. and on each of them was engraved the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
15-18. Two gold rings were attached to the upper front corners of the breastpiece and fastened with two braided gold chains to gold settings on the shoulder straps.
19. Two other gold rings were attached to the lower inside corners next to the apron,
20. and two more near the bottom of the shoulder straps just above the sash.
21. To keep the breastpiece in place, a blue cord was used to tie the two lower rings on the breastpiece to those on the apron. These things were done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
