“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.”
Exodus 39:23 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 39:23
The robe's opening 'in the midst' with a reinforced edge 'as the hole of an habergeon' (כְּפִי תַחְרָא, kefi tachra, like a coat of mail opening) with a binding 'that it should not rend' (לֹא יִקָּרֵעַ, lo yikarea) teaches perfection's preservation. The Hebrew קָרַע (qara, to tear) recalls the tearing of priestly or kingly garments in grief or judgment (2 Kings 18:37; Matthew 26:65). The high priest's robe must never tear, symbolizing Christ's perfect, unbreakable ministry. Unlike human priests who fail, Christ's priesthood endures forever (Hebrews 7:24).
