23. And two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two ends at the top of the rational.

25. And the ends of the chains themselves thou shalt join together with two hooks on both sides of the ephod, which is towards the rational.
26. Thou shalt make also two rings of gold which thou shalt put in the top parts of the rational, in the borders that are over against the ephod, and look towards the back parts thereof.
