"With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong."
— Exodus 39:23, Bible in Basic English
“And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.”
“and the hole of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent. ”
“There was an opening in the center of the robe, like the opening of a collar, with an edge all around the opening so that it could not be torn.”
“And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunic round about:”
“And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.”
And two other gold rings were put on the front of the ephod, over the arm-holes, at the join, and over the worked band.
And the rings on the bag were fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord, keeping it in place over the band, so that the bag might not get loose, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
The robe which went with the ephod was made all of blue;
With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong.
The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.
And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.
