11. As a jeweler engraves signets, so shall you engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall enclose them in settings of gold filigree.
12. And you shall set the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders for remembrance.
13. You shall make settings of gold filigree,
14. and two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords; and you shall attach the corded chains to the settings.
15. “You shall make a breastpiece of judgment, in skilled work. In the style of the ephod you shall make it—of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen shall you make it.
16. It shall be square and doubled, a span its length and a span its breadth.
17. You shall set in it 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, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold filigree.
21. There shall be twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel. They shall be like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.
22. You shall make for the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold.
23. And you shall make for the breastpiece two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.
24. And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.
25. The two ends of the two cords you shall attach to the two settings of filigree, and so attach it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod.
26. You shall make two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.
27. And you shall make two rings of gold, and attach them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
