They made
This phrase indicates the skilled craftsmanship and obedience of the Israelites in following God's detailed instructions for the construction of the priestly garments. The Hebrew root for "made" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to do, fashion, or accomplish. This reflects the active participation and dedication of the artisans, led by Bezalel and Oholiab, in fulfilling God's commands as given to Moses. Their work was not just a task but an act of worship and reverence.

two more gold rings
Gold, in biblical symbolism, often represents purity, divinity, and kingship. The use of gold in the construction of the tabernacle and its furnishings signifies the holiness and majesty of God. The "two more gold rings" were part of the intricate design of the high priest's breastpiece, ensuring it was securely fastened. The Hebrew word for "rings" is טַבַּעַת (tabba'at), which can also mean a signet ring, symbolizing authority and identity. These rings were essential for the function and stability of the breastpiece, reflecting the order and precision in God's design.

attached them
The act of attaching signifies connection and unity. The Hebrew word used here is קָשַׁר (qashar), meaning to bind or tie. This connection between the breastpiece and the ephod symbolizes the unity and harmony required in the service of God. It also reflects the interconnectedness of the priestly garments, each part serving a specific purpose in the overall function of the high priest's role.

to the other two corners of the breastpiece
The breastpiece, or חֹשֶׁן (choshen) in Hebrew, was a central part of the high priest's attire, representing judgment and decision-making. The "other two corners" indicate the precise and symmetrical design of the garment, ensuring it was balanced and properly aligned. This meticulous attention to detail underscores the importance of order and precision in worship and service to God.

on the inside edge
The "inside edge" refers to the part of the breastpiece that was closest to the ephod, the garment worn by the high priest. This positioning highlights the intimate connection between the two pieces, symbolizing the closeness and direct relationship between the high priest and God. The Hebrew word for "edge" is פֵּאָה (pe'ah), which can also mean side or corner, emphasizing the completeness and wholeness of the design.

next to the ephod
The ephod, or אֵפוֹד (ephod) in Hebrew, was a sacred vestment worn by the high priest, signifying his role as a mediator between God and the people. The breastpiece being "next to the ephod" illustrates the integration of the high priest's duties—bearing the names of the tribes of Israel on his heart as he ministers before the Lord. This proximity signifies the unity of purpose and the seamless function of the priestly garments in the service of God.
