Exodus 28:22-29

22“To attach the chestpiece to the ephod, make braided cords of pure gold thread.

23Then make two gold rings and attach them to the top corners of the chestpiece.

24Tie the two gold cords to the two rings on the chestpiece.

25Tie the other ends of the cords to the gold settings on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod.

26Then make two more gold rings and attach them to the inside edges of the chestpiece next to the ephod.

27And make two more gold rings and attach them to the front of the ephod, below the shoulder-pieces, just above the knot where the decorative sash is fastened to the ephod.

28Then attach the bottom rings of the chestpiece to the rings on the ephod with blue cords. This will hold the chestpiece securely to the ephod above the decorative sash.

29“In this way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes of Israel on the sacred chestpiece over his heart when he goes into the Holy Place. This will be a continual reminder that he represents the people when he comes before the Lord.
