Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold
on Exodus 28:22-28
Seven verses go on fastening, and the reason comes last, that the breastplate not come loose from the ephod. Rings at the top and bottom, chains to the shoulder settings and a blue cord hold it at four points. The chapter spends more words securing the piece than describing it.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And thou shalt put two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings,.... This expresses both how many chains were to be made, which is not before said, and the use of them, or where they were to be put, as well as the use of the rings: which are on the ends of the breastplate; the two uppermost ends or corners of it.

thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work--a very splendid and richly embroidered piece of brocade, a span square, and doubled, to enable it the better to bear the weight of the precious stones in it.
