Tree Of Life Version

Exodus 28:14-23 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

14. along with two chains of pure gold, of braided work, and you will attach the chains to the filigree settings.

15. “Make a breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful craftsman. You are to make it like the design of the ephod—of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen.

16. It is to be square and doubled over, a span in length and a span in width.

17. Set within it four rows of jewels: a row of ruby, topaz and emerald for the first row;

18. a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond for the second row;

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

20. and a beryl, an onyx and a jasper for the fourth row. They are to be enclosed in gold filigree settings.

21. The stones are to be engraved in the order of the names of Bnei-Yisrael, twelve according to their names, like the etchings of a signet seal, one corresponding to each name of the twelve tribes.

22. “Also you are to make, upon the breastplate, braided chains of wreathed work from pure gold.

23. Forge on the breastplate two rings of gold and fasten the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
