And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou
shalt
fasten in the two ouches
In which the two onyx stones were set on the shoulder pieces of
the ephod, and were as buttons to them; probably there were rings
to those ouches, into which these ends of the wreathen chains of
gold, reaching from the breastplate, were put; or however, by
some means or other they were fastened to these ouches or
sockets;
and put them in the shoulder pieces of the ephod before
it;
that is, on the ouches upon them, as before observed: into that
part or side of the ouches which was to be the fore part of the
ephod; so that the breastplate hung by these chains from the
shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the fore part of it, upon the
breast of the high priest.
