he made the breastplate of cunning work

on Exodus 39:8-14

The breastplate carries the same names a second time, twelve stones in four rows, each engraved like a signet, and Exodus 28:29 says Aaron bears them upon his heart when he goes into the holy place. It is a span square and made double, so it forms a pouch. The making account never mentions the Urim and the Thummim that Exodus 28:30 puts inside it, and Leviticus 8:8 is where Moses sets them in. Adam Clarke holds that several of these stones can no longer be identified with confidence and sends the reader back to Exodus 28:17.
