Exodus 28:22-29

22“You are to make braided chains of pure gold cord work for the breastpiece.

23Fashion two gold rings for the breastpiece and attach them to its two corners.

24Then attach the two gold cords to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece.

25Attach the other ends of the two cords to the two filigree settings, and in this way attach them to the ephod’s shoulder pieces in the front.

26Make two other gold rings and put them at the two other corners of the breastpiece on the edge that is next to the inner border of the ephod.

27Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the ephod’s two shoulder pieces on its front, close to its seam, and above the ephod’s woven waistband.

28The artisans are to tie the breastpiece from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece is above the ephod’s waistband and does not come loose from the ephod.

29“Whenever he enters the sanctuary, Aaron is to carry the names of Israel’s sons over his heart on the breastpiece for decisions, as a continual reminder before the Lord.
