Commentary on Exodus 39:8
The breastplate (חֹשֶׁן, choshen, breastplate of judgment, 28:15) matched the ephod's materials and workmanship, signifying unity between bearing Israel's names (shoulders/strength) and bearing them over the heart (affection). The 'cunning work' (מַעֲשֵׂה חֹשֵׁב, ma'aseh choshev, skillful craftsmanship) indicates divine design executed by Spirit-filled artisans. This breastplate, positioned over Aaron's heart, taught that priestly ministry requires both strength and love. Christ, our High Priest, bears believers with both omnipotent power and infinite compassion (John 13:1).
