EXODUS 39:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod — as the Lord commanded Moses. The blue cord connecting the breastpiece's lower rings to the ephod's lower rings is the final securing mechanism. The breastpiece cannot swing away from the priest's body: the twelve names over his heart are secured at four points. The as the Lord commanded Moses formula confirms the fidelity of even this detail. The community before God is held in place with every mechanism the specification provided.
