Exodus 39:8-14
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Making the Breastpiece
8 He(A) also made the embroidered[a] breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen. 9 They made the breastpiece square and folded double, twenty-five centimetres long and twenty-five centimetres wide.[b] 10 They mounted four rows of gemstones[c] on it.
The first row was
a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald;[d]
11 the second row,
a turquoise,[e] a lapis lazuli, and a diamond;[f]
12 the third row,
a jacinth,[g] an agate, and an amethyst;
13 and the fourth row,
a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.
They were surrounded with gold filigree in their settings.
14 The twelve stones corresponded to the names of Israel’s sons. Each stone was engraved like a seal with one of the names of the twelve tribes.
