22You shall makeH6213 on the 9breastpieceH2833 chainsH8333 of twistedH1383 cordageH5688 workH4639 in pureH2889 goldH2091.

23You shall makeH6213 on the breastpieceH2833 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091, and shall putH5414 the twoH8147 ringsH2885 on the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastpieceH2833.

25You shall putH5414 the other twoH8147 endsH7098 of the twoH8147 cordsH5688 on the twoH8147 filigreeH4865 settings, and putH5414 them on the shoulderH3802 pieces of the ephodH646, at the frontH6440 of it.

26You shall makeH6213 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091 and shall placeH7760 them on the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastpieceH2833, on the edgeH8193 of it, whichH834 is towardH413 the innerH1004 sideH5676 of the ephodH646.

27You shall makeH6213 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091 and putH5414 them on the bottomH4295 of the twoH8147 shoulderH3802 pieces of the ephodH646, on the frontH6440 of it closeH5980 to the placeH4225 whereH4225 it is joinedH4225, aboveH4480H4605 the skillfullyH2805 wovenH2805 bandH2805 of the ephodH646.

28They shall bindH7405 the breastpieceH2833 by its ringsH2885 to the ringsH2885 of the ephodH646 with a 10blueH8504 cordH6616, so that it will be on the skillfullyH2805 wovenH2805 bandH2805 of the ephodH646, and that the breastpieceH2833 will not comeH2118 looseH2118 from the ephodH646.
