## Exodus 39:8-9 in Context (Verses 5–12 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/exodus/39/5) And the curious girdle of his ephod, that *was* upon it, *was* of the same, according to the work thereof; *of* gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/exodus/39/6) ¶ And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/exodus/39/7) And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, *that they should be* stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/exodus/39/8) ¶ And he made the breastplate *of* cunning work, like the work of the ephod; *of* gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/exodus/39/9) It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span *was* the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, *being* doubled.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/exodus/39/10) 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.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/exodus/39/11) And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/exodus/39/12) And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
