胸牌

15 「你要用巧匠的手工做一个决断的胸牌。要和以弗得一样的做法：用金线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线，并捻的细麻做成。

16 这胸牌要四方的，叠为两层，长一虎口，宽一虎口。

17 要在上面镶宝石四行：第一行是红宝石、红璧玺、红玉；

18 第二行是绿宝石、蓝宝石、金钢石；

19 第三行是紫玛瑙、白玛瑙、紫晶；

20 第四行是水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉。这都要镶在金槽中。

21 这些宝石都要按着以色列十二个儿子的名字，仿佛刻图书，刻十二个支派的名字。

22 要在胸牌上用精金拧成如绳的链子。

23 在胸牌上也要做两个金环，安在胸牌的两头。

24 要把那两条拧成的金链子，穿过胸牌两头的环子。

25 又要把链子的那两头接在两槽上，安在以弗得前面肩带上。

26 要做两个金环，安在胸牌的两头，在以弗得里面的边上。

27 又要做两个金环，安在以弗得前面两条肩带的下边，挨近相接之处，在以弗得巧工织的带子以上。

28 要用蓝细带子把胸牌的环子与以弗得的环子系住，使胸牌贴在以弗得巧工织的带子上，不可与以弗得离缝。

29 亚伦进圣所的时候，要将决断胸牌，就是刻着以色列儿子名字的，带在胸前，在耶/和/华面前常作纪念。

30 又要将乌陵和土明放在决断的胸牌里；亚伦进到耶/和/华面前的时候，要带在胸前，在耶/和/华面前常将以色列人的决断牌带在胸前。」

The Breastpiece

15 “Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions—the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.

16 It is to be square—a span long and a span wide—and folded double.

17 Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;

18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;

19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst;

20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings.

21 There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

22 “For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.

23 Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece.

24 Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,

25 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.

26 Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.

27 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.

28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.

29 “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord.

30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.
