6 And they made the shoham stones, placed in plated work of gold, engraved as signets are engraved, according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl.

7 And he put them on the shoulders of the shoulder garment, stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had commanded Mosheh.

11 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 and the fourth row a beryl, a shoham, and a jasper – placed in plated work of gold in their mountings.

14 And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes.

15 And they made braided chains of corded work for the breastplate at the ends, of clean gold.

20 And they made two gold rings and put them on the two shoulder pieces, underneath the shoulder garment, on the front of it, close to its seam above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment.

21 And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the shoulder garment with a blue cord, so that it would be above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the shoulder garment, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had commanded Mosheh.

22 And he made the robe of the shoulder garment of woven work, all of blue.

23 And the opening of the robe was in the middle, like the opening in scaled armour, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear.

24 And they made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.

25 And they made bells of clean gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between the pomegranates:

26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, for the service, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had commanded Mosheh.
