It does not. You wont find it. But it is Jewish tradition...that's where it came from.
I also heard that the High Priest had bells around the hem of his skirt ..( I do believe there is a scripture verse for that somewhere, in the description of his holy garments)...so that the people waiting to hear that he was moving ...and as he came out, knew the blood had been accepted.

there was bells https://www.bible-history.com/tabernacle/TAB4The_Priestly_Garments.htm see when he entered the holy of hollies he stripped off his priestly garments . only had white linen on i like to think of it when we sing the song just as i am


Pomegranates



Pomegranates in the land were a symbol of fruitfulness because of all the seeds found in one pomegranate. The skirt of the High Priests robe had a remarkable trimming of pomegranates in blue, red, and crimson, with a bell of gold between each pomegranate

thank you ..do you realize how many actually believe they did tie the rope around the ankle
I have heard it taught when I was growing up but I never studied it or even considered it until your thread. So this shed some light on yet another FALSE teaching in the church i attended growing up.
I did a scripture search on my Bible app and sure enough it wasnt in there.

Although none of this matters one way or another, we have to remember that we also have no proof one way or another, just because it isn't mentioned in Scripture, that the rope thing was not a Jewish custom. Can you show me anywhere in Scripture that people trimmed their fingernails.. or cleaned themselves after "eliminating"? Yet, I think we can state with confidence that they did both.

Silly fun facts are entertaining, but we must remember not to draw a sword for battle over them.

no sword drawn but if the high priest did not do things right before entering .he would not continue . besides so you tie a rope he dies you drag him out there goes possible breaking golden lamps . so i think i will stand by my research.. talked with several at the tabernacle with questions.

I read that the veil was made of very strong material and was approximately 3 feet in thickness.

The fine twined linen was very coarse if the curtain was 3 ft. thick and they would have been very heavy to boot :rolleyes:. I think that what you were trying to say was that each of the curtains was 28 cubits in length and 4 cubits in width. [Ex 26:2]

i heard many details not sure amazing how they crafted the tabernacle and all the furnishings out the wilderness

2 Each curtain should be forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the curtains are to have the same measurements. 3 Five of the curtains should be joined together, and the other five curtains joined together. 4 Make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set. 5 Make fifty loops on the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together. 6 Also make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.

7 “You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make eleven of these curtains. 8 Each curtain should be forty-five feetlong and six feet wide. All eleven curtains are to have the same measurements. 9 Join five of the curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. Then fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent. 10 Make fifty loops on the edge of one curtain, the outermost in the first set, and make fifty loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain of the second set. 11 Make fifty bronze clasps; put the clasps through the loops and join the tent together so that it is a single unit. 12 As for the flap that remains from the tent curtains, the leftover half curtain is to hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13 What remains along the length of the tent curtains—a half yard on one side and a half yard on the other side—should hang over the sides of the tabernacle on either side to cover it. 14 Make a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red on top of that.

either way this was no easy task .the details given out in the dessert . it was of God that is what matters :cool: amen or o me

No.
Construed understanding.
(May be myth or perhaps did occur in a period of times, per mens understanding.)

1) The hem of the robe Was with the natural dyes of a pomegranate.
2) Golden bells circled around the hem of the high Priests garment for when he went into and out of the Holly or Holies, ('so that') he would not die. And was signal to others of the Hight Priest entering and exiting the Holy of Holies.
FYI.. Priests were not to handle dead bodies.


Ex 28
[34] A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
[35] And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

Glory to God,
taken

Well, we already have enough versions of that story to know that what people believe really went down is little more than pure speculation in every case. LOL (more of the blind trying to lead the blind)

In regards to the "bells" please see, "The High Priest Garments of Beauty” for an explanation for these.
