Exodus 28:17-21
You shall set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.
Exodus 39:6-14
They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its width a span, being double.They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
