16. Foursquare it shall be and double; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.

17. And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row;

18. and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

19. and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20. and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

21. And the stones shall be 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, they shall be for the twelve tribes.

22. And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.

23. And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

26. And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
