They also made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe,

What is left of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten as unleavened cakes in a holy place; they shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.

In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering they are to slaughter the guilt offering, and he shall splash its blood around on the altar.
