Context of Exodus 39:16

14They corresponded to the 12 sons of Israel, by name, each stone engraved (like a signet ring) with the name of one of the 12 tribes. 15For the breastplate they made chains out of pure gold, twisted like ropes. They made two gold settings and two gold rings and attached the two rings to the ⌞top⌟ two corners of the breastplate. 17They fastened the two gold ropes to the rings at the ⌞top⌟ corners of the breastplate. 18They fastened the other ends of the ropes to the two settings on the shoulder straps of the ephod ⌞so that the breastplate hung⌟ in front of it.
