"These were both in front and in back so that they met one another, and so that the ephod and the breastplate were woven together, "
— Exodus 39:18, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.”
“And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof. ”
“The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.”
“the other two ends of the two chains they attached to the two settings, and they attached them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.”
“These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,”
“And the other two ends of the chains were joined to the two frames and fixed to the front of the ephod over the arm-holes.”
“And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.”
They also made, in the breastplate, little chains linked to one another, from the purest gold,
and two hooks, and the same number of gold rings. Moreover, they set the rings at both sides of the breastplate,
from which two golden chains would hang, which they connected with the hooks that projected from the corners of the ephod.
These were both in front and in back so that they met one another, and so that the ephod and the breastplate were woven together,
being fastened to the wide belt and strongly coupled with rings, to which a hyacinth band was joined, lest they should shake loose and be moved away from one another, just as the Lord instructed Moses.
They also made the tunic of the ephod entirely from hyacinth,
with the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven edge all around the head.
