Contextual Overview

1 And from the blue and the purple and the crimson they made woven garments for serving in the sanctuary. And they made the holy garments which were for Aaron, as Jehovah commanded Moses. 2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and crimson, and twined bleached linen . 3 And they beat out sheets of gold, and cut threads to work into the midst of the blue, and into the midst of the purple, and into the midst of the crimson, and into the midst of the bleached linen , the work of an artisan. 4 They made shoulderpieces for it, joined together; it was joined on its two ends. 5 And its fastening band was on it; it was of it, like its work, gold, blue, and purple, and crimson, and twined bleached linen , as Jehovah commanded Moses. 6 And they made stones of onyx set in plaited work of gold, engraved with engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel. 7 And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as Jehovah commanded Moses. 8 And he made the breast pocket, a work of an artisan, like the work of the ephod: gold, blue, purple, and crimson, and twined bleached linen ; 9 it was square. They made the breast pocket double; its length a span and its width a span, doubled. 10 And they set it in four rows of stones: one row, the first row: a ruby, a topaz and an carbuncle.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a diamond: Exodus 28:18, Ezekiel 28:13, The word yahalom may mean the diamond, from halam, to beat, smite, because of its extreme hardness, by which it will beat to pieces the other stones. It is a fine pellucid substance never debased with any admixture of other matter; susceptible of elegant tinges from metal-line particles; giving fire with steel; not fermenting with acid menstrua; scarcely calcinable by any degree of fire; and of one simple and permanent appearance in all lights. It is the hardest and most valuable of all gems; when pure, perfectly clear and pellucid as the clearest water, and eminently distinguished from all other substances by its vivid splendour, and the brightness of its reflections.

Reciprocal: Revelation 4:3 - like unto
