The Other Garments

22 He made the robe of the ephod completely blue, the work of a weaver. 23 There was an opening in the center of the robe, like the opening of a collar, ^{▼▼tn See the note on this word in Exod 28:32 for discussion of its meaning.} with an edge all around the opening so that it could not be torn. 24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and twisted linen ^{▼▼tn The word is simply “twined” or “twisted.” It may refer to the twisted linen that so frequently is found in these lists; or, it may refer to the yarn twisted. The LXX reads “fine twined linen.” This is not found in the text of Exod 28:33, except in Smr and LXX.} around the hem of the robe. 25 They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates. 26 There was ^{▼▼tn The words “there was” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.} a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering, ^{▼▼tn The infinitive “to minister” is present; “to be used” is supplied from the context.} just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
