“They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.”
They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened. The shoulder pieces that attach the ephod at its top corners are constructed exactly as Exodus 28:7 specified. The two shoulder pieces that will hold the onyx stones engraved with the twelve tribal names are the structural connection points of the garment that carries the community before God. The high priest who will wear this garment enters God's presence with Israel literally on his shoulders.
