²⁴ And with an iron pen and lead be cut into the rock for ever!

¹ The sin of Judah is recorded with a pen of iron, and with the sharp point of a jewel it is cut on their hearts of stone, and on the horns of their altars for a sign to them:

¹¹ With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

¹² And the two stones are to be placed on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel: Aaron will have their names on his arms when he goes in before the Lord, to keep the Lord in mind of them.

²¹ 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.

¹⁶ The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones.

² And on the day when you go over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, put up great stones, coating them with building-paste,

³ And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.

⁸ And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.
