Exodus 39:11
9 It was square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
10 And they mounted on it four rows of gemstones: The first row had a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
the second row had a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12 the third row had a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13 and the fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. These stones were mounted in gold filigree settings.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
