Study note
Setting — God commands Moses to complete the ephod's construction by securing the front attachment points for the shoulder pieces.
The words — תִתֵּן (tiTen) translates literally as "you will put" or "you will fasten," while קְצֹת (qetzot) means "ends," directing precise physical placement of the cords.
The thread — This instruction fulfills the initial command to attach chains to filigree settings (Exodus 28:14) and matches the craftsmen's execution of the shoulder pieces (Exodus 39:4) and the braided gold cords (Exodus 39:15).
Why it lands — The text requires exact compliance with divine specifications, demanding that builders secure sacred components precisely at the designated points without deviation.
