Exodus 39:17 In-Context

15 They made also in the rational little chains, linked one to another, of the purest gold,
16 And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,
17 On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.
18 These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,
19 Being fastened to the girdle, and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.
