They mounted within it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz and emerald were the first row.
The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare to it; nor can it be valued in pure gold.
The stones are to be engraved in the order of the names of Bnei-Yisrael, twelve according to their names, like the etchings of a signet seal, one corresponding to each name of the twelve tribes.
In the second row were a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond.
It was square and folded doubled, a span long and a span wide.
