02:039:006 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold,
graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of
Israel.
02:039:007 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they
should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
02:039:008 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work
of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen.
02:039:009 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span
was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
02:039:010 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a
sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
02:039:011 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
02:039:012 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
02:039:013 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they
were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
02:039:014 And the stones were according to the names of the children
of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a
signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
02:039:015 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of
wreathen work of pure gold.
02:039:016 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and
put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
02:039:017 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two
rings on the ends of the breastplate.
02:039:018 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in
the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before
it.
02:039:019 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two
ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side
of the ephod inward.
02:039:020 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the
two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over
against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the
ephod.
02:039:021 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the
rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the
curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be
loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
02:039:022 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of
blue.
02:039:023 And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole
of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not
rend.
02:039:024 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
02:039:025 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between
the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the
pomegranates;
02:039:026 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round
about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
