This 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.

proposed

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.
