Make two gold rings for it and attach them to two corners of the breastpiece. Two gold rings at the top corners of the breastpiece — the connection points for the gold chains. The rings and chains create the upper fastening system of the breastpiece. The construction detail ensures that the breastpiece does not shift during the priest's movements — what lies over his heart stays over his heart. The technical specificity of the connection system reflects the covenant concern for the permanent presence of Israel's names before God: the names must stay in place, always over the priest's heart, never displaced by movement or activity.
