Exodus 28:13

Compare all

11 With the work of an ^aengraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold.

12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So ^aAaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders ^bas a memorial.

13 You shall also make settings of gold,

14 and you shall make two chains of pure gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.

The Breastplate

15 ^a“You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it.

16 It shall be doubled into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width.

Ouches of gold - mishbetsoth , strait places, sockets to insert the stones in, from shabats , to close, enclose, straiten.

Socket, in this place, would be a more proper translation, as ouch cannot be traced up to any legitimate authority. It appears sometimes to signify a hook, or some mode of attaching things together.
