'Breastplate' in the Bible

onyx stones and setting stones for the [priest’s] ephod and for the breastpiece.

These are the garments which they shall make: a breastpiece and an ephod [for the breastpiece] and a robe and a tunic of checkered work, a turban, and a sash. They shall make sacred garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, so that he may serve as a priest to Me.

“You are to make a breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skilled and talented craftsman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric and of fine twisted linen.

The breastpiece shall be square and folded double; a span [about nine inches] in length and a span in width.

You shall make for the breastpiece chains of pure gold twisted like cords.

You shall make on the breastpiece two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.

You shall put the two twisted cords of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastpiece.

You shall make two gold rings and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.

They shall bind the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it will be above the skillfully woven sash of the ephod, so that the breastpiece will not come loose from the ephod.

So Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob) in the breastpiece of judgment over his heart when he enters the Holy Place, to bring them in continual remembrance before the Lord.

In the breastpiece of judgment you shall put the Urim (Lights) and the Thummim (Perfections) [to be used for determining God’s will in a matter]. They shall be over Aaron’s heart whenever he goes before the Lord, and Aaron shall always carry the judgment (verdict, judicial decisions) of the sons of Israel over his heart before the Lord.

Then you shall take the garments, and put on Aaron the tunic and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the breastpiece, and wrap him with the skillfully woven sash of the ephod;

and onyx stones and other stones to be set for the ephod and the breastpiece.

They made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.
