That this signifies the sphere of Divine good from the higher part of heaven through which there is conjunction, is evident from the signification of "the breastplate," as being a representative of heaven (see n. 9879); and from the signification of "the two rings of gold," as being the sphere of Divine good through which there is conjunction (n. 9498, 9501). That this is from the higher part of heaven, is signified by the rings being at the upper part of the breastplate, for the chains were led from this part to the settings of gold on the shoulderpieces of the ephod.
