of the same material: of gold, of violet and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. 9And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel, 10six of their names on the one stone and the names of the remaining six on the ▼▼Lit second
other stone, according to their birth. 11 ▼▼Lit A work of a lapidary, engravings of a seal
As a jeweler engraves a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel; you shall ▼▼Lit make them to be surrounded
set them in filigree settings of gold. 12And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall fcarry their names before the Lord on his two shoulders gas a memorial. 13And hyou shall make filigree settings of gold, 14and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them of twisted cord work, and you shall put the corded chains on the filigree settings. 15 “ iYou shall make a ▼▼Or pouch
breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skilled embroiderer; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen you shall make it. 16It shall be square and folded double, a ▼▼About 9 in. or 23 cm

at its top in the middle of it; around its opening there shall be a binding of woven work, like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn. 33You shall make on its hem pomegranates of violet, purple, and scarlet material all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 34a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe. 35It shall be on Aaron ▼▼Lit for ministering
when he ministers; and its sound shall be heard when he enters and leaves the Holy Place before the Lord, so that he will not die.
