Study note

Setting — God gives Moses precise construction instructions for the high priest’s ephod during the wilderness tabernacle commissioning.

The words — וְעָשִׂיתָ (ve'asita) translates as "you will make," and טַבַּעֹת (tabba'ot) translates as "rings," specifying the exact fabrication of gold fittings for the garment.

The thread — The text places these rings in Exodus 28:26 as the counterpart to the breastpiece fittings, and in Exodus 28:28 as the anchor points for the blue cord that secures the ephod.

Why it lands — The text commands exact placement and material specification, requiring the builder to prioritize structural stability and precise replication of the pattern over independent design choices.

King James Version

And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
