He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold {and} of blue and purple and scarlet {material} and fine twisted linen.
Exo 39:9
&
It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a span long and a span wide when folded double.
Exo 39:10
&
And they mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row {was} a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;
Exo 39:11
&
and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond;
Exo 39:12
&
and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Exo 39:13
&
and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold filigree {settings} when they were mounted.
Exo 39:14
&
The stones were corresponding to the names of the sons of Israel; they were twelve, corresponding to their names, {engraved with} the engravings of a signet, each with its name for the twelve tribes.
Exo 39:15
&
They made on the breastpiece chains like cords, of twisted cordage work in pure gold.
Exo 39:16
&
They made two gold filigree {settings} and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.
Exo 39:17
&
Then they put the two gold cords in the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.
Exo 39:18
&
They put the {other} two ends of the two cords on the two filigree {settings,} and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.
Exo 39:19
&
They made two gold rings and placed {them} on the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inner edge which was next to the ephod.
Exo 39:20
&
Furthermore, they made two gold rings and placed them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it, close to the place where it joined, above the woven band of the ephod.
Exo 39:21
&
They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be on the woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece would not come loose from the ephod, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
