Ezekiel 28:13

You were in Eden,
in the garden of God (Elohim),
covered with every precious stone:
[1] Carnelian [red stone – Hebr. odem; the first stone in the breastplate, see Ex. 28:17; describes God in the throne room, see Rev 4:3.]
[2] Topaz [olive green, yellowish; the second stone in the breastplate, see Ex. 28:17]
and
chalcedony [the last stone in the second row (the sixth stone), see Ex. 28:18. The Hebrew word comes from halam, which means to strike down, to break; it can describe that it is a harder stone, perhaps diamond.].
[3] Chrysolite [Hebr. tarshish; the first stone in the fourth row of the breastplate (the tenth stone), see Ex. 28:20].
[4] Onyx [the second stone in the fourth row of the breastplate (the eleventh stone), see Ex. 28:20]
and
jasper [the third stone in the fourth row of the breastplate (the twelfth stone), see Ex. 28:20],
[5] Sapphire [Hebr. sapir, from the verb to write/tell; the second stone in the second row, see Ex. 28:18].
[6] Carbuncle [the first stone in the second row of the breastplate (the fourth stone), see Ex. 28:18]
and
emerald [Hebr. barqat, from baraq meaning sparkling, light. The word is only used here.].
[A total of nine stones are mentioned here. Between three of them appears the word "and", which groups three of them together, while three stand alone. This makes a total of six groupings. Several of the stones are also found in the priest's breastplate, see Ex. 28:17–20. In Rev 21:19–20, twelve stones are mentioned in the wall.] And you perfected your tambourines with gold
and your pipes,
on the day you were created, they were prepared.]
