15You are also to make a breastpiece of judgment with the same workmanship as the ephod. Construct it with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
16It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
17And mount on it a setting of gemstones, four rows of stones: In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
18in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.
21The twelve stones are to correspond to the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
22For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.
23You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.
24Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
25and fasten the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
26Make two more gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
27Make two additional gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near its seam just above its woven waistband.
28The rings of the breastpiece shall be tied to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece is above the waistband of the ephod and does not swing out from the ephod.
29Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he shall bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of judgment, as a continual reminder before the LORD.
30And place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of judgment, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD.
