9. The chest covering was square—nine inches long and nine inches wide—and it was folded double to make a pocket.
10. Then they put four rows of beautiful jewels on it: In the first row there was a ruby, a topaz, and a yellow quartz;
11. in the second there was a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
12. in the third there was a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13. in the fourth there was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. Gold was put around these jewels to attach them to the chest covering,
14. and the names of the sons of Israel were carved on these twelve jewels as a person carves a seal. Each jewel had the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
15. They made chains of pure gold, twisted together like a rope, for the chest covering.
