And they set in it four rows of stones: {the first} row {was} a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this {was} the first row. {sardius: or, ruby}

And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: {they were} inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

And the stones {were} according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, {like} the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
