Exodus 39:15 meaning and explanation

For the breastpiece they made braided chains like cords of pure gold.

Exodus 39:15, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Exodus 39 describes the actual making of the priestly garments, and this verse sits inside the account of the breastpiece, the square pouch worn over Aaron's heart when he served in the sanctuary. The chains of braided pure gold were functional, not merely decorative: they linked the breastpiece to the onyx stones on the ephod's shoulder pieces so the whole assembly held together and would not swing loose.
