21verseThey bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD commanded Moses.

22verseHe made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

23verseThe opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.
