<p> <strong> [[Breastplate]] </strong> (of the High Priest). In the directions for the official dress of the high priest, as laid down by the priestly writer, a prominent place is occupied by the breastplate or pectoral. The fuller designation ‘the breastplate of judgment’ (&nbsp; Exodus 28:15 , Sir 45:10 ) is significant of the purpose of the breastplate, which was to form a fitting receptacle or pouch for the [[Urim]] and [[Thummim]] (wh. see), by means of which judgment was pronounced. The special directions for the making of the breastplate are given in &nbsp; Exodus 28:13-30 (cf. &nbsp; Exodus 39:8-21 ). It was made of an oblong piece of richly wrought linen, which, folded in two, formed a square of half a cubit, or 9 inches, in the side. Attached to the outer side were four rows of precious stones in gold settings, twelve in all, each stone having engraved upon it the name of a tribe ‘for a memorial before J″ [Note: Jahweh.] continually’ (&nbsp; Exodus 28:29 ). The breastplate was kept in position by means of two cords of ‘wreathen work’ of gold, by which it was attached to a couple of gold ‘ouches’ (probably rosettes of gold filigree) on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, while the lower part was fastened to the ephod by a ‘lace of blue’ (&nbsp; Exodus 28:28 ) at each corner. </p> <p> [[A.]] [[R.]] [[S.]] Kennedy. </p>
