17 The two gold chains were then fastened to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.
18 The other two ends of the two chains were fastened in front to the two filigree rosettes, which were attached to the shoulder straps of the ephod.
19 Two other gold rings were made and put on the two lower ends of the breastpiece, on the edge facing the ephod.
20 Two more gold rings were made and fastened to the bottom of the two shoulder straps next to where they joined the ephod in front, just above its embroidered belt.
21 Violet ribbons bound the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod, so that the breastpiece stayed right above the embroidered belt of the ephod and did not swing loose from it. All this was just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 The robe of the ephod was woven entirely of violet yarn,
23 with an opening in its center like the opening of a shirt, with selvage around the opening to keep it from being torn.
