And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold.
The breast-plate, fastened by golden chains to the ephod, holds the names of all twelve tribes before God continually. Aaron bears them as a memorial; and so our great High Priest carries His people into the very presence of God, where by faith we sit with Him in heavenly places even now.

Commenting on Exodus 28:15-30
And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold,.... On the upper part of it, above, toward the two shoulder pieces of the ephod; these were to put one end of the chains into before mentioned: and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate; the two upper ends or corners of it, the right and left.
The two corded chains of pure gold attach the breast-piece to the rosettes at the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, binding it firmly to the front. This is described with the same precision as the earlier mention because the execution confirms the design.
