It was an essential part of the priestly attire, signifying the High Priest's role as a mediator between God and the people. The breastpiece was intricately designed and held the Urim and Thummim, which were used for divination and seeking God's will. This garment symbolized the High Priest's responsibility to bear the names of the tribes of Israel before the Lord, representing them in the holy presence.<p><b>make braided chains</b><br>The instruction to make braided chains indicates the level of craftsmanship and detail required in the construction of the priestly garments. Braiding suggests strength and durability, ensuring that the breastpiece was securely attached to the ephod. This detail reflects the importance of the High Priest's role and the need for the garments to be both functional and symbolic. The use of braided chains also highlights the connection between the breastpiece and the ephod, emphasizing the unity and coherence of the High Priest's attire.<p><b>like cords</b><br>The comparison to cords suggests a specific style and method of construction, indicating that the chains were not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Cords were commonly used in ancient times for various purposes, including binding and securing items. This imagery reinforces the idea of the High Priest being bound to his duties and responsibilities, as well as the interconnectedness of the priestly garments.<p><b>of pure gold</b><br>Gold, a precious and incorruptible metal, was often used in the construction of sacred objects and garments in the tabernacle. Its use here signifies the purity, holiness, and divine nature of the High Priest's office. Gold's enduring quality symbolizes the eternal nature of God's covenant with Israel. In a typological sense, the use of pure gold can be seen as a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, who is described as pure and without blemish, serving as the ultimate High Priest and mediator between God and humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the instructions for the priestly garments from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>Moses' brother, who was appointed as the first high priest of Israel.
