NASB
"and the opening of the robe was at the top in the center, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding all around its opening, so that it would not be torn."
— Exodus 39:23, NASB
“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. ”
“The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.”
“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:”
“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.”
“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.”
Furthermore, they made two gold rings and placed them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it, close to the place where it joined, above the woven band of the ephod.
They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be on the woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece would not come loose from the ephod, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
and the opening of the robe was at the top in the center, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding all around its opening, so that it would not be torn.
They made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe.
They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe,
alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
