      ²⁰ and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be inclosed in gold in their settings.

      ³³ And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:

      ³⁴ a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.
