11. the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12. the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13. the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings.
14. There were twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes.
15. And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold.
