Verse 15 is the same as 28.22, with the exception of the verb, which is here literally “and they made.” Verse 16 is quite similar to 28.23, but the reference to the two settings of gold filigree is added here. Literally the Hebrew has “and they made two settings of gold.” The word for settings is the same as that used in 28.11 and only implies the idea of filigree. (See the comment there and at verse 13 above.) These “two gold settings” (Good News Translation) are first mentioned in 28.13 and again in 28.25. (See the comment there.) They are mentioned again in verse 18 below.

And two gold rings is the same as in 28.23. The rest of verse 16 is the same as 28.23, with the exception of the verb, which here shows the completed action. (See the comment there.)
