Exegesis
The construct pa‘āmōnê zāhāv ṭāhôr {פַעֲמֹנֵי זָהָב טָהוֹר | paʿāmônē zāhāv ṭāhôr} “bells of pure gold” identifies the objects, while the repeated prepositional phrase bĕṯōch harimmônîm {בְּתוֹךְ הָרִמֹּנִ֗ים | bəṯōḵ harimmônîm} “in the midst of the pomegranates” and ʿal-šūlei hammə‘îl {עַל־שׁוּלֵ֤י הַמְּעִיל֙ | ʿal-šūlei hammə‘îl} “on the hems of the robe” specify an alternating arrangement around the garment.
