2-3. The entire priestly apron was made of fine linen, woven with blue, purple, and red wool. Thin sheets of gold were hammered out and cut into threads that were skilfully woven into the apron.
11. a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond were in the second row;
12. a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst were in the third row;
13. and a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper were in the fourth row. They were mounted in a delicate gold setting,
14. and on each of them was engraved the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
15-18. Two gold rings were attached to the upper front corners of the breastpiece and fastened with two braided gold chains to gold settings on the shoulder straps.
19. Two other gold rings were attached to the lower inside corners next to the apron,
20. and two more near the bottom of the shoulder straps just above the sash.
21. To keep the breastpiece in place, a blue cord was used to tie the two lower rings on the breastpiece to those on the apron. These things were done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22. The priestly robe was made of blue wool
23. with an opening in the centre for the head. The material around the collar was bound so as to keep it from fraying.
