Make two more gold rings
The instruction to "make two more gold rings" emphasizes the meticulous attention to detail required in the construction of the priestly garments. Gold, a symbol of purity and divinity, reflects the holiness and sacredness of the priestly office. The use of gold in the tabernacle and its furnishings signifies the value and honor attributed to the service of God. Historically, gold was a precious metal, often associated with royalty and deity, underscoring the priest's role as a mediator between God and the people.

and attach them
The act of attaching the rings signifies the importance of connection and unity within the priestly garments. Each component of the high priest's attire was designed to function together harmoniously, symbolizing the unity and order within the community of Israel. This attachment also reflects the broader biblical theme of covenantal relationships, where God binds Himself to His people, and they, in turn, are bound to Him through obedience and worship.

to the other two corners of the breastpiece
The "other two corners of the breastpiece" indicates the specific placement of the rings, ensuring that the breastpiece is securely fastened. The breastpiece, also known as the breastplate of judgment, held the Urim and Thummim and was worn over the heart of the high priest. This placement is significant, as it symbolizes the priest's role in bearing the names of the tribes of Israel before the Lord, representing them in matters of judgment and intercession.

on the inside edge next to the ephod
The "inside edge next to the ephod" provides precise instructions for the positioning of the rings, highlighting the importance of order and precision in worship. The ephod, a sacred vestment worn by the high priest, was intricately woven with gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen. Its proximity to the breastpiece signifies the interconnectedness of the priestly garments, each piece serving a distinct purpose yet contributing to the overall function of the high priest's ministry. This detail underscores the biblical principle that every aspect of worship and service to God must be conducted with reverence and exactness, reflecting His holiness and majesty.

(26) Thou shalt make two rings--i.e., "two other rings." These were to be put on the two lower corners of the breastplate, "in the border thereof," or at its extreme edge.
