Exegesis
A simile is introduced by ke-fi {כְּפִי |kə-pî} ‘like the opening’ linked to takh-ra {תַחְרָא |ṭaḥ-rāʾ} ‘coat of mail,’ clarifying design.
In context — Exodus 39:23
And the opening of the robe was in its center like the opening of a coat of mail, with a hem surrounding it so that it would not be torn.
