Then attach
The phrase "then attach" indicates a sequence of actions, suggesting a meticulous and orderly process in the construction of the priestly garments. The Hebrew root for "attach" is "קָשַׁר" (qashar), which means to bind or tie. This reflects the importance of unity and connection, symbolizing how the priestly garments were to be securely fastened, just as the spiritual life of a believer should be firmly anchored in faith and obedience to God.

the two gold chains
Gold, in biblical symbolism, often represents purity, divinity, and kingship. The use of gold chains signifies the precious and divine nature of the priestly office. Historically, gold was a rare and valuable commodity, emphasizing the sacredness of the high priest's role. The chains serve as a reminder of the connection between God and His people, with the high priest acting as an intermediary.

to the two rings
Rings in ancient times were symbols of authority and continuity. The Hebrew word for ring, "טַבַּעַת" (tabba'at), can also mean a signet ring, which was used to seal and authenticate documents. The two rings on the breastpiece symbolize the enduring covenant between God and Israel, with the high priest bearing the responsibility of representing the people before God.

at the corners
The corners of the breastpiece indicate the extremities or boundaries, suggesting completeness and inclusivity. In biblical terms, corners can represent the four corners of the earth, symbolizing the universality of God's covenant. The placement of the rings at the corners ensures that the breastpiece is securely fastened, reflecting the comprehensive nature of God's care and protection over His people.

of the breastpiece
The breastpiece, or "חֹשֶׁן" (choshen) in Hebrew, was a central part of the high priest's attire, adorned with twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. It served as a tangible reminder of the high priest's role in interceding for the entire nation. The breastpiece's design and function highlight the importance of carrying the people of God close to one's heart, symbolizing the love and responsibility of spiritual leadership.
