It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a [hand's] span long and a [hand's] span wide when folded double.

And they mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;

and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were mounted in settings of gold filigree.

And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords of pure gold.

They made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.

They 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.

They made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inner edge which was next to the ephod.

Furthermore, they made two [other] gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at the front of it, close to the place where it is joined, above the woven sash of the ephod.

They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would lie on the woven sash of the ephod, and so that the breastpiece would not come loose from the ephod, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and fine twisted linen.

And they made tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,

They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet, "Holy to the LORD."

They brought the tabernacle to Moses [for him to inspect]: the tent and all its furnishings, its hooks, its [frame] boards, its bars, its support poles, its sockets or bases;

And Moses [carefully] inspected all the work, and behold, they had done it; just as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it. So Moses blessed them.

you shall anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may serve as priests to Me; and their anointing shall qualify them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."

When they entered the Tent of Meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

'As an offering of first fruits you may offer them [leaven and honey] to the LORD, but they shall not go up [in smoke] on the altar as a sweet and soothing aroma.
