15. “Make a breastpiece for the High Priest to use in determining God's will. It is to be made of the same materials as the ephod and with similar embroidery.

16. It is to be square and folded double, 22 centimetres long and 22 centimetres wide.

17. Mount four rows of precious stones on it; in the first row mount a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet;

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

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

20. and in the fourth row, a beryl, a carnelian, and a jasper. These are to be mounted in gold settings.

21. Each of these twelve stones is to have engraved on it the name of one of the sons of Jacob, to represent the tribes of Israel.

22. For the breastpiece make chains of pure gold, twisted like cords.

23. Make two gold rings and attach them to the upper corners of the breastpiece,
