What happensPermalink
The design of the garments for the high priest, made from fine linen in royal colors. Also two onyx stones with the names of the tribes and twelve precious gems to symbolize the tribes, and bells on the hem of the robe.
Why it mattersPermalink
The priest’s garments symbolize his dual nature: the same royal colors and gold of the tabernacle represent God; the names of the tribes represent the people of God; and pomegranates represent the garden of Eden, the place of God.
Key versePermalink
