Exegesis
The prepositional phrase al {עַל־ | ʿal} ‘on’ plus shenei {שְׁנֵי | šənē} ‘two’ and qetsot {קְצ֥וֹת | qēṣōt} ‘edges’ precisely locates the attachment points on hachoshen {הַחֹשֶׁן | hahōšēn} ‘the breastpiece’. This balanced structure of numerals and nouns underscores the craftsmanship and liturgical ornamentation of the high priest’s garment.
