Study note
Setting — God instructs the artisans constructing the priestly garments to assemble the ephod with specific structural attachments.
The words — כְתֵפֹת (khe.te.Fot) translates to shoulder-pieces, and חֹבְרֹת (choe.Rot) denotes the state of being joined or attached.
The thread — The command is directly executed in Exodus 39:4, where the craftsmen fasten the shoulder pieces at two corners to secure the garment.
Why it lands — The text explicitly requires two physical anchors to fasten the ephod, demanding that the reader recognize sacred service depends on exact obedience to construction specifications.
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
It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.
