The priestly robe (Hebrew ''me'il'' מְעִיל ), sometimes robe of the ephod (''meil ha-ephod'' מְעִיל הָאֵפֹוד), is one of the sacred articles of clothing (''bigdei kehunah'') of the Jewish High Priest. The robe is described in . It was worn under the Ephod. Like all the priestly garments, it was to be made by 'gifted artisans ... filled with the spirit of wisdom'.〔Exodus 28:3 NKJV〕 ==Hebrew Bible== The Hebrew noun ''meil'' occurs 30 times in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew Bible, and refers not only to the robe of the high priest but also any robe worn over a tunic by men of rank, such as the robe Jonathan gave to David, or his mantle which Job tore in desperation, and also the outer cloak of women - such as the robe worn by David's daughters. It was a sleeveless, purple-blue or violet 〔 〕 (''techelet'') robe (''me'il''), woven in a single piece. The opening in the center for the High Priest's head to pass through was woven, not cut or torn (). The lower hem of the garment was fringed with small golden bells alternating with pomegranate-shaped tassels of blue (turquoise), purple and scarlet wool (). The golden bells were a necessity, and they must ring when the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, lest he die (). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Priestly robe (Judaism)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
