The use of gold in the construction of the priestly garments signifies the sacredness and the divine nature of the priestly office.

The fastening of the rings to the corners ensured that the breastpiece was securely attached, symbolizing the high priest's role in bearing the judgment and decisions of the people before God.

They describe very minutely, and with some tautology, the mode in which the breast-plate was to be fastened to the ephod. It was to have four rings, two at its two upper corners (ver. 23), and two just behind its two lower corners (ver. 20); a gold twist or cord was to be passed through each of the two upper rings, and then attached to the" ouches" or settings of the shoulder stones (ver. 25; compare vers. 11-14). A blue lace or ribbon was to be passed through each of the two lower rings, and these laces were to be tied to two rings, sewn for the purpose on to the front of the ephod a little above the "curious girdle" (vers. 26, 27). By these four fastenings at its four corners, the breast-plate was securely attached to the ephod, and could not readily get loose from it. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/28-23.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Make</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעָשִׂ֙יתָ֙</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘ā·śî·ṯā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><br /><span class="word">two</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁתֵּ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(šə·tê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - fdc<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8147.htm">Strong's 8147: </a> </span><span class="str2">Two (a cardinal number)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">gold</span><br /><span class="heb">זָהָ֑ב</span> <span class="translit">(zā·hāḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2091.htm">Strong's 2091: </a> </span><span class="str2">Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky</span><br /><br /><span class="word">rings</span><br /><span class="heb">טַבְּע֣וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(ṭab·bə·‘ō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2885.htm">Strong's 2885: </a> </span><span class="str2">A seal, signet, a ring of any kind</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and attach</span><br /><span class="heb">וְנָתַתָּ֗</span> <span class="translit">(wə·nā·ṯa·tā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> </span><span class="str2">To give, put, set</span><br /><br /><span class="word">them</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁתֵּי֙</span> <span class="translit">(šə·tê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - fdc<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8147.htm">Strong's 8147: </a> </span><span class="str2">Two (a cardinal number)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to</span><br /><span class="heb">עַל־</span> <span class="translit">(‘al-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> </span><span class="str2">Above, over, upon, against</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the two</span><br /><span class="heb">שְׁנֵ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(šə·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - mdc<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8147.htm">Strong's 8147: </a> </span><span class="str2">Two (a cardinal number)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">corners</span><br /><span class="heb">קְצ֥וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(qə·ṣō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7098.htm">Strong's 7098: </a> </span><span class="str2">A termination </span><br /><br /><span class="word">of the breastpiece.</span><br /><span class="heb">הַחֹֽשֶׁן׃</span> <span class="translit">(ha·ḥō·šen)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2833.htm">Strong's 2833: </a> </span><span class="str2">A pocket, rich, the gorget of the highpriest</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/exodus/28-23.htm">Exodus 28:23 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/exodus/28-23.htm">OT Law: Exodus 28:23 You shall make on the breastplate two (Exo.
