12 Put the two stones on the two straps of the holy vest. These stones are reminders of the 12 sons of Israel. Aaron is to wear their names on his shoulders. They are before the Lord as reminders of the sons of Israel.
13 Make two gold pieces to hold the stones.
14 Then make two chains of pure gold. Twist them together like a rope. Attach the chains to the two gold pieces that hold the stones.
15 “Make a chest covering to help in making decisions. The craftsmen should make it as they made the holy vest. They must use gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen.
