The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle:
this shall be the first row.
EXO 28:18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a
diamond.
EXO 28:19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
EXO 28:20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they
shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
EXO 28:21 And the stones shall be with the names of the children of
Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a
signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve
tribes.
