Summary

This verse describes the intricate design of the priestly garments, specifically focusing on the robe of the ephod. The robe was to be made entirely of blue cloth, with an opening for the head in the center and a woven collar around the opening to prevent tearing. The significance of these detailed instructions highlights the importance of the priests' role as mediators between God and the people, emphasizing the need for reverence, purity, and obedience in their service. The blue color symbolizes heavenly connection and the priestly duty to represent the divine presence among the Israelites.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt fasten in the two ouches,.... In which the two onyx stones were set on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, and were as buttons to them; probably there were rings to those ouches, into which these ends of the wreathen chains of gold, reaching from the breastplate, were put; or however, by some means or other they were fastened to these ouches or sockets: and put them in the shoulder pieces of the ephod before it; that is, on the ouches upon them, as before observed: into that part or side of the ouches which was to be the fore part of the ephod; so that the breastplate hung by these chains from the shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the fore part of it, upon the breast of the high priest.
