Context of Exodus 39:20

18They fixed the other ends of the two chains to the shoulder pieces of the ephod, in the front. They joined them to the gold pieces that held the onyx stones. 19They made two gold rings and they fixed them to the bottom corners of the breastpiece. They were on its inside edge, next to the ephod. Then they made two more gold rings. They fixed them to the bottom edge of the shoulder pieces, on the front of the ephod. They put the rings just above the ephod's belt. 21They used a string of blue material to tie the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod. They fixed them together above the ephod's belt, so that the breastpiece would not become separate. The workers made all these things as the Lord had commanded Moses. 22The workers used only blue cloth to make the robe for the ephod.
