Exodus 28:29

And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually.

Cross-reference

Exodus 28:12 has names on shoulder stones as a memorial; verse 29 repeats the memorial function but on the breastpiece over the heart.

Exodus 28:15 introduces the breastpiece of judgment itself, which in verse 29 is worn by Aaron bearing the names of Israel.

Exodus 28:30 places the Urim and Thummim into the same breastpiece, complementing the names carried over the heart.

Exodus 28:4 Historical context

In Exodus 28:4, the breastplate is first listed among the priestly garments; here its memorial function is explained.

Exodus 39:7 Parallel

Exodus 39:7 describes shoulder stones as a memorial — parallel to the breastplate memorial here, both serving as reminders before God.

In Isaiah 49:16, God engraves Israel on His palms — a parallel image to Aaron bearing the names on his heart as a continual memorial.

Hebrews 9:24 shows Christ entering heaven itself — a typological fulfillment of the high priest entering the sanctuary with the breastplate.
