The skilled craftsmen made the chest covering like the holy vest; it was made of gold, and blue, purple, and red thread, and fine linen. The chest covering was square—nine inches long and nine inches wide—and it was folded double to make a pocket. Then they put four rows of beautiful jewels on it: In the first row there was a ruby, a topaz, and a yellow quartz; in the second there was a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald; in the third there was a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; in the fourth there was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. Gold was put around these jewels to attach them to the chest covering, and the names of the sons of Israel were carved on these twelve jewels as a person carves a seal. Each jewel had the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
