I have been learning quite a bit about parts of Exodus from this thread: https://www.puritanboard.com/thread...s-on-the-return-to-egypt.100350/#post-1225434
So, I thought I’d start a new thread to ask about this passage, Exodus 28:33-35.
I have heard all sorts of explanations, from the outlandish to the possible. the problem is, I have no idea what to make of it.
I would love to glean some insight from the members of this board. What do you think is the significance of Aaron/high priest having bells around his hem? I know it isn’t to alert the Lord that the high priest is there (as I also have heard), but why?
Here is the passage:
Exodus 28:33–35 (NAS): You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe.
35 “It shall be on Aaron when he ministers; and its tinkling shall be heard when he enters and leaves the holy place before the Lord, so that he will not die.
