Come and study the Holy Scriptures with us as Father Stephen DeYoung teaches verse by verse on the podcast, The Whole Council of God.

Father Stephen holds a Ph.D. in biblical studies. And it's an Orthodox priest serving at Archangel Gabriel Orthodox Church in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Verse 26 to go underneath the ephod. You shall make a full-length robe entirely blue. In the middle of it there shall be an opening for the head. The collar bordered

in sheepskin, a woven piece. The hem shall be interwoven with the rest to prevent ripping.

Beneath the border of the robe, you shall make knobs as of a flowering pomegranate, constructed

of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and fine-spun linen all around the hem of the garment.

Hanging from each golden knob will be a flower-shaped bell

all around the hem of the garment.

Its sound will be heard when Aaron is serving

as a priest, entering and leaving the holy place before the

Lord, that he not die.

So, yeah, so this is fun okay so this is fun okay so uh this is the undergarment right it's

basic level interestingly blue but it has these bells on it now there are still bells on a bishop's vestment, by the way, along the hem.

I always say that.

So they can't sneak up and ordain you.

But you're not looking.

No.

So here we're told that Aaron has them so that he won't die.

Okay.

So the most popular interpretation of this.

Yeah.

Well, so, yeah.
