The chains, likely made of gold, symbolize the connection between the divine and the earthly, as gold often represents purity and divinity in biblical symbolism. The filigree settings, intricate and detailed, reflect the care and precision required in worship and service to God. This attention to detail underscores the holiness and sanctity of the priestly role. The use of gold and fine craftsmanship also points to the wealth and resources dedicated to the tabernacle, emphasizing the importance of worship in Israelite society.attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front The ephod was a central garment for the high priest, and its design was both functional and symbolic. The shoulder pieces were significant as they bore the names of the tribes of Israel, engraved on onyx stones, signifying the high priest's role as a representative before God for the entire nation. This act of bearing the tribes on his shoulders symbolizes the burden and responsibility of leadership and intercession. The front placement of the attachments highlights the visibility and prominence of this representation, ensuring that the high priest always carried the people of Israel before God.
