EXODUS 39:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.”
With an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar, and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear. The bound head opening — exactly as Exodus 28:32 specified — prevents tearing. The robe of the high priest must not tear during ministry. Matthew 26:65 records Caiaphas tearing his robes — a violation of the prohibition that this construction addresses. The robe of an office that must not be rent by human drama is built to prevent the tearing.
