This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
To bind the choshen to the ephod there were to be two close, corded chains of pure gold, which are described here in precisely the same manner as in Exo 28:14; so that Exo 28:22 is to be regarded as a simple repetition of Exo 28:14, not merely because these chains are only mentioned once in the account of the execution of the work (Exo 39:15), but because, according to Exo 28:25, these chains were to be fastened upon the rosettes notice in Exo 28:14, exactly like those described in Exo 28:13. These chains, which are called cords or strings at Exo 28:24, were to be attached to two golden rings at the two (upper) ends of the choshen, and the two ends of the chains were to be put, i.e., bound firmly to the golden settings of the shoulder-pieces of the ephod (Exo 28:13), upon the front of it (see at Exo 26:9 and Exo 25:37).
