MEDITATION
Exodus 28:31-35
31 “You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32 There shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it; it shall have a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a coat of mail, so that it does not tear.
33 And upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe all around.
35 And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before the LORD and when he comes out, that he may not die.

《出埃及记 28：31-35》
31“你要做以弗得的外袍，颜色全是蓝的。
32袍上要为头留一领口，口的周围织出领边来，仿佛铠甲的领口，免得破裂。
33袍子周围底边上要用蓝色、紫色、朱红色线做石榴，在袍子周围的石榴中间要有金铃铛。
34一个金铃铛一个石榴，一个金铃铛一个石榴，在袍子周围的底边上。35亚伦供职的时候要穿这袍子。他进圣所到耶和华面前，以及出来的时候，袍上的响声必被听见，使他不至于死亡
