New King James Version (NKJV)

Exodus 39
⁵ And the intricately woven band of his ephod that was on it was of the same workmanship, woven of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
⁶ And they set onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold; they were engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel.
⁷ He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
⁸ And he made the breastplate, artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen.
⁹ They made the breastplate square by doubling it; a span was its length and a span its width when doubled.
¹⁰ And they set in it four rows of stones: a row with a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row;
¹¹ the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
¹² the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
¹³ the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings.
¹⁴ There were twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes.
¹⁵ And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold.
