28:15-30 More attention is given to the chestpiece than to any other item, suggesting the importance attached to it. It apparently symbolized the priest’s representation of Israel (28:17-21, 29) and was a container for the Urim and Thummim, by which God made his will known (28:30). The chestpiece represented the totality of the high priest’s tasks of bringing the people to God and bringing God’s word to the people.
