Exodus 28:33-34

The skirt was to be adorned with a border of pomegranates (i.e. balls shaped like pomegranates), made of the richly coloured materials mentioned in Exodus 25:4; and a small golden bell was to be attached to the hem between each two of the pomegranates. The pomegranate tree was common in Palestine (cf. Numbers 13:23; Deuteronomy 8:8, al.); its fruit, when ripe, is of a bright red colour, about the size of an orange. In v.33 Sam. LXX. add, and fine twined linen: cf. Exodus 38:24.
