Commentary on Exodus 39:7
Placing the engraved stones 'on the shoulders of the ephod' for 'a memorial' (זִכָּרוֹן, zikaron, remembrance) before YHWH teaches that the high priest represented Israel constantly in God's presence. The shoulder signifies strength and support; Aaron bore Israel's names not on weak hands but strong shoulders. This memorial function prefigures Christ's perpetual intercession—He ever lives to make intercession (Hebrews 7:25), bearing His people's names before the Father. The phrase 'as the LORD commanded Moses' (the 2nd of 15 times in chs 39-40) underscores covenant faithfulness.
