On the bottom two corners of the Choshen on its right and left<ref name="Rashi Shemos 28:26">Rashi Shemos 28:26</ref> were another two gold rings.

These allowed two doubled over blue dyed wool ribbons to loop through them and then connect to the two rings attached to the lower part of the Kitaphot,<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> where they connected to the Cheshev of the Ephod,<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> that lined up very near to the lower rings of the Choshen.<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> This lower fastening allowed the bottom of the Choshen to be held in place<ref name="Rashi Shemos 28:25"/> and prevented it from bouncing and wobbling on the stomach of the Kohen Gadol,<ref name="Rashi Shemos 28:25"/> and away from his body as he moved around.<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> Once connected, the Choshen is never to be removed from the Ephod. | These allowed two doubled over blue dyed wool ribbons to loop through them and then connect to the two rings attached to the lower part of the Kitaphot,<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> where they connected to the Cheshev of the Ephod,<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> that lined up very near to the lower rings of the Choshen.<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> This lower fastening allowed the bottom of the Choshen to be held in place<ref name="Rashi Shemos 28:25"/> and prevented it from bouncing and wobbling on the stomach of the Kohen Gadol,<ref name="Rashi Shemos 28:25"/> and away from his body as he moved around.<ref>Rashi Kepshuto</ref> Once connected, the Choshen is never to be removed from the Ephod. |
