robe

The robe of the ephod, made entirely of violet-purple, with an opening for the head and a woven border so it will not tear. Pomegranates and golden bells alternate on its lower hem; Aaron must wear it when he officiates so the tinkling is heard in the sanctuary. At consecration it is put on Aaron with the ephod.
