Exodus 28:22-29

22“For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.

23Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece.

24Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,

25and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.

26Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.

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

28The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.

29“Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord.
