Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

His sound shall be heard - The bells were doubtless intended to keep up the people’s attention to the very solemn and important office which the priest was then performing, that they might all have their hearts engaged in the work; and at the same time to keep Aaron himself in remembrance that he ministered before Jehovah, and should not come into his presence without due reverence. That he die not - This seems an allusion to certain ceremonies which still prevail in the eastern countries.

This site's exposition

You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth

on Exodus 28:31-35

The robe under the ephod is all blue, with gold bells and pomegranates alternating around the hem. The bells are for sound, “its sound will be heard when he enters or exits,” so the people outside hear a priest they cannot see.
