Commentary on Harmony of the Law Volume 1 Complete John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
9. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
9. Accipies quoque duos lapides onychinos, et sculpes in eis nomina filiorum Israel.
10. Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
10. Sex e nominibus eorum in lapide uno, et nomina sex reliqua in lapide altero, secundum generationes eorum.
11. With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
11. Opere artificis lapidum et sculpturis annuli sculpes duos illos lapides nominibus filiorum Israel, circundatos palis aureis facies eos.
12. And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
12. Ponesque duos illos lapides in lateribus ephod, lapides memoriae pro filiis Israel: et feret Aharon nomina eorum coram Jehova in duobus humeris suis ad memoriam.
13. And thou shalt make ouches of gold;
13. Facies itaque palas aureas:
14. And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.
14. Et duas catenas ex auro puro terminatas, facies opere plectili, inseresque catenas plectiles palis illis.
