And he made the brestplate of cunning worke, like the worke of the Ephod, of gold, blew, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linnen.

It was foure square, they made the brestplate double: a spanne was the length therof, and a spanne the breadth thereof being doubled.

And they set in it foure rowes of stones: the first row was a Sardius, a Topaz, and a Carbuncle: this was the first row.

And the second row an Emeraude, a Saphire and a Diamond.

And the third row a Lygure, an Agate, and an Amethist.

And the fourth row, a Berill, an Onix and a Iasper: they were enclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelue according to their names, like the ingrauings of a signet, euery one with his name, according to the twelue tribes.

And they made vpon the brestplate chaines, at the ends, of wrethen worke of pure gold.

And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings: and put the two rings in the two ends of the brestplate.

And they put the two wreathen chaines of golde in the two rings on the ends of the brestplate.

And the two endes of the two wreathen chaines they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the Ephod, before it.

And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two endes of the brest plate vpon the border of it, which was on the side of the Ephod inward.

And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod vnderneath, toward the forepart of it, ouer against the other coupling thereof, aboue the curious girdle of the Ephod.

And they did bind the brest plate by his rings vnto the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blew, that it might be aboue the curious girdle of the Ephod, and that the brest plate might not bee loosed from the Ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.
