^{11 Ref} In the second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;

¹³ In the fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they were fixed in twisted frames of gold.

^{14 Ref} There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.
