Exodus 28:9

Read in context

Exodus 28:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.

8 And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.

9 Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

10 six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.

11 Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings.
