Exodus 28

13 And you are to make twisted frames of gold;

14 Ref And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.

15 Ref And make a priest's bag for giving decisions, designed like the ephod, made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen.

16 It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.

17 Ref And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

18 Ref The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;

19 Ref The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 Ref The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

21 Ref The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.

22 And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.

23 Ref And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag.

24 Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;

25 Ref Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms.

26 Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

27 And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band:

28 Ref So that the rings on the bag may be fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord and on to the band of the ephod, so that the bag may not come loose from the ephod.

29 Ref And so Aaron will have the names of the children of Israel on the priest's bag over his heart whenever he goes into the holy place, to keep the memory of them before the Lord.
