³² and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver, as the opening of a habergeon there is to it; it is not rent.

³³ `And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about;

³⁴ a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe round about.
