15 ¶ Also thou shalt make the breastplate of [a]judgment with broidered work: like the work of the Ephod shalt thou make it: of gold, blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen shalt thou make it.

16 [b]Foursquare it shall be and double, an hand breadth long and an hand breadth broad.

17 Then thou shalt set it full of places for stones, even four rows of stones: the order shall be this, a [c]ruby, a topaz, and a [d]carbuncle in the first row.
