"^(C1)You shall make a ^(F1)breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skilled embroiderer; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen you shall make it.

"It shall be square and folded double, a ^(F1)span ^(F2)in length and a ^(F1)span ^(F2)in width.

"And you shall ^(F1)mount on it four rows of stones; the first row shall be a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;

and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be set in gold filigree.

"The stones shall be engraved according to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, according to their names; they shall be like the engravings of a signet, each ^(C1)according to his name for the twelve tribes.

"You shall also make on the ^(F1)breastpiece twisted chains of cord work in pure gold.

"And you shall make on the breastpiece two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.

"And you shall put the two cords of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.

"You shall 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.

"And you shall make two rings of gold and place them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on the edge of it, which is toward the inner side of the ephod.

"And you shall make two rings of gold and put them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it close to the place where it is joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

"And they shall bind the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord, so that it will be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece will not come loose from the ephod.

"So Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment over his heart when he enters the Holy Place, as a memorial before the LORD continually.

"And ^(C1)you shall put in the breastpiece of judgment the ^(F1)(C2)Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron's heart when he goes in before the LORD; and Aaron shall carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD continually.
