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 Harás el manto del ephod todo de jacinto:

32 Y en medio de él por arriba habrá una abertura, la cual tendrá un borde alrededor de obra de tejedor, como el cuello de un coselete, para que no se rompa.

33 Y abajo en sus orillas harás granadas de jacinto, y púrpura, y carmesí, por sus bordes alrededor; y entre ellas campanillas de oro alrededor.

34 Una campanilla de oro y una granada, campanilla de oro y granada, por las orillas del manto alrededor.

35 Y estará sobre Aarón cuando ministrare; y oiráse su sonido cuando él entrare en el santuario delante de Jehová y cuando saliere, porque no muera.
