8 Thean he made the breastplate, the handiwork of a designer, like the handiwork of the vestment, of gold, blue, purple, double-dipped crimson and corded cambric.
9 Square it came to be when doubled. They made the breastplate, a span its length and a span its width, when doubled.
10 They filled it with four rows of stones: a row of carnelian, peridot and emerald, the first row;"
11 the second row of carbuncle, sapphire and diamond;"
12 the third row of jacinth, agate and amethyst;"
13 and the fourth row of topaz, onyx and jasper, set round about with mountings of gold filigree in their fillings.
14 The stones were twelve with the names of the sons of Israel, according to their names, as the engravings of a seal, each one according to its name for the twelve tribes.
15 They made on the breastplate boundaries of braid, a handiwork of rope, of pure gold.
16 They made two mountings of gold filigree and two rings of gold and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate;
17 then they put the two ropes of gold on the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;
18 and the two ends of the two ropes they put on the two mountings; thus they put them on the shoulderpieces of the vestment to its forefront view.
19 They also made two rings of gold and placed them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its hem which was across the vestment, inside.
20 They made two rings of gold and put them on the two shoulderpieces of the vestment below its forefront view to correspond with its joining above to the designed band of the vestment.
21 Then they laced the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the vestment with blue twine, to come to be over the designed band of the vestment, so that the breastplate be not displaced from the vestment, just as Yahweh had instructed Moses.
