Study note
Setting — God directs Moses on Mount Sinai to complete the priestly vestments, specifying the exact placement for securing the breastpiece to the ephod.
The words — The imperative עָשִׂיתָ (‘āśîṯā) commands “you will make,” טַבְּעֹת זָהָב (ṭabʿōt zāhāḇ) identifies “gold rings,” and שַׂמְתָּ (śamṯā) orders “you will put” them on the two inner corners of the breastpiece.
The thread — Exodus 28:26 continues the mechanical assembly of the high priest’s garments by detailing how the breastpiece is linked to the ephod, following the upper chain attachment in verse 25 and preceding the lower ring placement in verse 27.
Why it lands — The text requires the artisan to physically integrate the breastpiece to the ephod using exactly two gold rings at the specified inner edges, leaving no ambiguity about the garment’s structural integrity.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Hebrew words
King James Version
And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
