Bible Question: Where in scripture does it say that the Priest had a rope tied around him when he entered the Holy of Holies? |
Bible Answer: Hello ladymams, This may be of help and is the closest thing to a rope. The girdle: a band or belt (Exodus 28:4 KJV) And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. (Exodus 28:8 KJV) And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. "The ephod was fastened by a girdle of the same costly materials, that is, dyed, embroidered, and wrought with threads of gold. It was about a handbreadth wide and wound twice round the upper part of the waist; it fastened in front, the ends hanging down at great length (Rev 1:13)." (A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments by Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown) Hope this helps, terrib |
