2. And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.
3. And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it artistically into the blue, and into the purple, and into the scarlet, and into the byssus.
4. They made shoulder-pieces for it, joining it: at its two ends was it joined together.
5. And the girdle of his ephod, which was on it, was of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
6. And they wrought the onyx stones mounted in enclosures of gold, engraved with the engravings of a seal, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
7. And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
8. And he made the breastplate of artistic work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.
9. It was square; double did they make the breastplate, a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, doubled.
10. And they set in it four rows of stones: one row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald--the first row;
11. and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12. and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;
13. and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper; mounted in enclosures of gold in their settings.
14. And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
15. And they made on the breastplate chains of laced work of wreathen work, of pure gold.
16. And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
17. And they put the two wreathen cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;
18. and the two ends of the two wreathen cords they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.
