Exodus 39:20, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Exodus 39 describes the making of the priestly garments, and this verse sits within the account of the ephod, the vest-like garment worn by Aaron. The rings here were practical fittings: gold loops fixed to the front of the shoulder pieces, just above the woven waistband, so the breastpiece could be tied securely and would not swing loose during ministry.
