Éxodo 28:33 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 28:33

And beneath upon the hem of it
Or the skirts of it, at the bottom of the robe:

thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet,
round about the hem thereof;
these were figures made of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, in the form of pomegranates: Jarchi says they were round and hollow, and made like hens' eggs, about the size of them, and of an oval form:

and bells of gold between them round about;
according to some, the bells were put into the pomegranates, which is supposed to be the meaning of the phrase "between them", or, "in the midst of them"; and so Aben Ezra observes, that some say the bells did not appear, they were only in the midst of the pomegranates, and there they caused their sound to be heard: but according to our version and others, the bells were placed between the pomegranates, between every pomegranate and pomegranate there was a golden bell; and this seems to be plainly the sense of the following verse.

Éxodo 28:33 In-Context

31 Otras vestiduras para los sacerdotes
»Confecciona el manto que se usa con el efod de una sola pieza de tela azul,

32 con una abertura en el centro por donde Aarón pueda meter la cabeza. Refuerza la abertura con un cuello
tejido para evitar que se rasgue.

33 Haz granadas de hilo azul, púrpura y escarlata, y sujétalas al borde del manto, alternándolas con campanillas de oro.

34 Las campanillas de oro y las granadas irán en forma alternada por todo el borde.

35 Aarón llevará puesto el manto cada vez que oficie delante del Señor
, y las campanillas sonarán cuando entre a la presencia del Señor
, en el Lugar Santo, y también cuando salga de allí. Si lleva puesto el manto, no morirá.
