Shemot 28:13-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

13. And thou shalt make mishbetzot zahav (filigrees of gold);

14. And two sharsherot zahav tahor (chains of pure gold) at the edges; of braided artistic work shalt thou make them, and fasten the braided sharsherot (chains) to the mishbetzot (filigrees).

15. And thou shalt make the Choshen Mishpat with artistic work; like the work of the Ephod thou shalt make it; of zahav, of turquoise, and of purple, and of scarlet wool, and of twisted linen, shalt thou make it.

16. Ravu'a (foursquare, square) it shall be folded; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the width thereof.

17. And thou shalt set in it settings of even (stone), four rows of gemstones: the first row shall be a odem, a pitdah, and barekes: this shall be the first row.

18. And the second row shall be nofech, sapphire, and yahalom.

19. And the third row a leshem, shevo, and achlamah.

20. And the fourth row tarshish, shoham, and yashfeh; they shall be set in zahav in their settings.

21. And the avanim (gemstones) shall be for the Shemot Bnei Yisroel, Shteym Esreh (Twelve), according to their Shemot, like the engravings of a chotam (signet ring); every one with shmo shall they be according to the Shnei Asar Shevet (Twelve Tribes).

22. And thou shalt make for the Choshen at the edges of braided artistic work of zahav tahor (pure gold).

23. And thou shalt make upon the Choshen two rings of zahav, and shalt fasten the two rings on the two ends of the Choshen.
