of blue, purple, and scarlet all around its hem

a gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe.

when he enters the Holy Place before the
Lord and when he leaves, so that he does not die.
28:36 “You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it the way a seal is engraved: “Holiness to the Lord.”
28:37 You are to attach to it a blue cord so that it will be on the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban,
28:38 It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron will bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the Israelites are to sanctify by all their holy gifts; it will always be on his forehead, for their acceptance before the Lord.

Numbers 15:38-39
15:38 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them to make
tassels
for themselves on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and put a blue thread
on the tassel of the corners.
15:39 You must have this tassel so that you may look at it and remember all the commandments of the
Lord and obey them and so that you do not follow
after your own heart and your own eyes that lead you to unfaithfulness.
