Twisted workmanship for breastpiece chains · dominant
In Exodus 28:22, the singular absolute noun occurs in the instruction to make chains on the breastpiece; the APB renders the clause "chains of twists, cord work of pure gold." Exodus 39:15 repeats the same form in the report of making those chains, where the APB renders "chains of twists, the work of a cord of pure gold."
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Exodus 28:22 and Exodus 39:15, the APB presents the term within the phrase "chains of twists." Its precise English contribution cannot be isolated beyond that clause.
