And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.
The ephod was the high priest's outermost garment, shot through with gold thread; a short coat without sleeves, fitted close with a curious girdle. Those shoulder-pieces bore the names of all Israel in precious stones, and Christ our High Priest bears us the same way before His Father, our advocate and our memorial.

Commenting on Exodus 28:6-14
The breastplate bore the people of Israel upon the high priest's heart as a constant reminder that he must do justice and judgment faithfully. It prefigured Christ our High Priest, who carries His church upon His heart, robed in the righteousness of His obedience and death, and who alone executes perfect judgment over those made righteous in Him.
