Exodus 28:23

You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — God gives Moses a direct construction command for the priestly garments during the tabernacle instructions.

The words — The text specifies two gold rings (טַבְּעֹת, tabb'ōt) attached to the breastpiece (הַחֹשֶׁן, ha-chōšen).

The thread — The rings are introduced in Exodus 28:23, and their purpose of securing the braided gold cords is detailed in Exodus 28:24.

Why it lands — The directive demands exact material preparation and deliberate placement of each component before the garment can function.
