MLV(i)
15 And you will make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skillful workman. You will make it like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, you will make it.
16 It will be square and double, a span will be the length of it and a span the breadth of it.
17 And you will set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz and carbuncle will be the first row,
18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire and a diamond,
19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst,
20 and the fourth row a beryl and an onyx and a jasper. They will be enclosed in gold in their settings.
21 And the stones will be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name; they will be for the twelve tribes.
22 And you will make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of corded work of pure gold. 23 And you will make upon the breastplate two rings of gold and will put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 And you will put the two corded chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 25 And the other two ends of the two corded chains you will put on the two settings and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart of it. 26 And you will make two rings of gold and you will put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge of it, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
27 And you will make two rings of gold and will put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod. 28 And they will bind the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod and that the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod.
29 And Aaron will bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.
