Exodus28:33

33 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof, and bells of gold between them round about.

The figures of Pomegranates, but flat and embroidered.

By the sound whereof the people might be admonished of the work which the Priest was employed in, and thereby be provoked to joyn their affections and devotions with his. These pomegranates and bels might note either 1. the qualifications of the Priest, who was both to declare or give forth the sound of pure and wholesome doctrine, and to adorn his doctrine with the fragrancy and fruitfulness of a good conversation. Or 2. The glorious atchievements of Christ, who caused the sound of his doctrine to be heard by all men, and offered up himself as a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour, Eph. 5. 2.

Marginal references: Or, Skirts.
