Discovery BoxExodus 39:24-26 
Context39:24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and twisted linen 1 around the hem of the robe. 39:25 They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates. 39:26 There was 2 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering, 3 just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
1 tn The word is simply “twined” or “twisted.” It may refer to the twisted linen that so frequently is found in these lists; or, it may refer to the yarn twisted. The LXX reads “fine twined linen.” This is not found in the text of Exod 28:33, except in Smr and LXX.
2 tn The words “there was” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn The infinitive “to minister” is present; “to be used” is supplied from the context.
