Verses 22-26:

Instructions for the “robe of the ephod” appear in Ex 28:31-35. The color scheme of blue, purple, scarlet, and gold continues in the design of this robe. The bells were designed to let the people know that the high priest was still alive, as he went about his duties in the tabernacle. There were no windows through which the people could peer, to see if the high priest were alive and functioning in his duties. And, the curtain over the door effectively shielded him from public view. So long as they could hear the tinkling of the bells, they knew that all was well.

Jesus gives the witness of His Spirit to let His children know today that He is still alive as He goes about His duties as High Priest in the Heavenly Temple, see Heb 7:25; Ro 9:14-16, 26, 27.

The Other Articles of Wear

v. 22. And he made the robe of the ephod, over which the ephod was worn, of woven work, all of blue, a hyacinth-colored garment reaching to the knees.

v. 23. And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, for the head to pass through, as the hole of an habergeon, a strong linen shirt worn by soldiers, with a band, a strong hem, or selvage, round about the hole, that it should not rend.

v. 24. And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen; these were on the skirt of the garment, at the knees.

v. 25. And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

v. 26. a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in, as the Lord commanded Moses. Cf Exo 28:31-34.

v. 27. And they made coats of fine linen, of shining byssus, of woven work for Aaron and for his sons,

v. 28. and a miter of fine linen, the high, turbanlike headdress, and goodly bonnets, ornamented caps, of fine linen, for the ordinary priests, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

v. 29. and a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework, of a damasklike fabric prepared from the various costly materials, as the Lord commanded Moses. The girdle of Aaron only is mentioned, since the girdles of the ordinary priests were patterned after his.

v. 30. And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, a crown, or diadem, of holiness, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, holiness to the Lord.

v. 31. And they tied unto it a lace of blue, a hyacinth-colored, ornamental string, to fasten it on high upon the miter, as the Lord commanded Moses. Cf Exo 28:39-42.
