1 | Pomegranates in Scripture | Ex 28:33 | SpreadWord | 25840 | ||
Can someone tell me the significance of the pomegranates, as it relates to Aaron's robe, when alternated with golden bells? The colors being blue, purple, and scarlet I'm sure are significant of truth, royalty, and blood respectively (all aspects of Christ), but what of the shape of the pomegranate itself? Although there are several scripture references, Exodus 28:33 stands out to me. | ||||||

Greetings SpreadWord! Here is the entry for 'Pomegranates' from the Easton Bible Dictionary... "Pomegranate i.e., "grained apple" (pomum granatum), Heb. rimmon. Common in Egypt (Num_20:5) and Palestine (Num_13:23; Deu_8:8). The Romans called it Punicum malum, i.e., Carthaginian apple, because they received it from Carthage. It belongs to the myrtle family of trees. The withering of the pomegranate tree is mentioned among the judgments of God (Joe_1:12). It is frequently mentioned in the Song of Solomon (Son_4:3, Son_4:13, etc.). The skirt of the high priest's blue robe and ephod was adorned with the representation of pomegranates, alternating with golden bells (Exo_28:33-34), as also were the "chapiters upon the two pillars" (1Ki_7:20) which "stood before the house." - Nolan |

Thanks for the detailed information on the pomegranate. I too had seen this definition from the Easton Bible Dictionary. What I'm after is what this particular fruit signifies. What is the significance of the pomegranate when it is mentioned in scripture? | ||||||
4 | Signficance of the Pomegranate | Ex 28:33 | Morant61 | 25885 | ||
Greetings SpreadWord! The word 'pomegranate' is used 32 times in the Old Testament. However, none of those verse ascribe any special significance to the word. There might be some historical information somewhere, but Scripture itself doesn't seem to attach any special significance to it. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
