Exodus 39:22-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue yarn,(A) 23 and the opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening in a garment,[a] with a binding around its edge, so that it might not be torn. 24 On the lower hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and crimson yarns and of fine twisted linen.[b] 25 They also made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates on the lower hem of the robe all around, between the pomegranates, 26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate all around on the lower hem of the robe for ministering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

New English Translation
The Other Garments
22 He made the robe of the ephod completely blue, the work of a weaver. 23 There was an opening in the center of the robe, like the opening of a collar,[a] with an edge all around the opening so that it could not be torn. 24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and twisted linen[b] around the hem of the robe. 25 They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates. 26 There was[c] a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering,[d] just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
