Study note
Setting — The narrator records the artisans’ actions during the construction of the high priest’s garments, following the attachment of the upper chains and preceding the lower ring placements.
The words — טַבְּעֹת (ta.be.'Ot) = rings of and זָהָ֔ב (za.Hav) = gold, specifying the exact metal components used to secure the breastpiece.
The thread — The placement of these rings continues the structural sequence detailed in Exodus 39:18 and Exodus 39:20, mapping the exact attachment points for the ephod’s suspension system.
Why it lands — The text demands attention to exact placement and material specification, requiring the reader to recognize that ritual functionality depends on precise physical assembly.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
