New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Exodus 39
⁴ They made attaching shoulder pieces for the ephod; it was attached at its two upper ends.
⁵ The skillfully woven band which was on it was like its workmanship, of the same material: of gold and of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
⁶ They made the onyx stones, set in gold filigree settings; they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
⁷ And he placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
⁸ He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold and of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.
⁹ It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a span long and a span wide when folded double.
¹⁰ And they mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;
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, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold filigree settings when they were mounted.
¹⁴ The stones were corresponding to the names of the sons of Israel; they were twelve, corresponding to their names, engraved with the engravings of a signet, each with its name for the twelve tribes.
