הזהירנו מהסיר החשן מעל האפוד אבל יהיה החשן דבוק בו. ובסוף מכות (שם) אמרו עם זכרון מחוייבי מלקות והא איכא מזיח החשן. הנה כבר התבאר שהמזיח לוקה. (ואתה תצוה, שם פ"ט):

**Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf:**
He prohibited us from removing the breastplate from the ephod (a type of apron worn by the high priest), but rather that the breastplate be attached to it. And at the end of Makkot (Makkot 22a) when they mentioned those liable for lashes, they said, "But behold, there is [also] the one who loosens the breastplate!" Behold it has already been made clear that one who loosens [it] is lashed. (See Parashat Vayakhel; Mishneh Torah, Vessels of the Sanctuary and Those who Serve Therein 9.)
