Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "paamon" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of the high priest's bells is unique to the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: The Hebrew word "paamon" refers to a small bell. In the context of the Bible, it is specifically used to describe the bells attached to the hem of the high priest's robe. These bells were an integral part of the priestly garments, serving both a practical and symbolic purpose.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the high priest's garments were designed according to specific instructions given by God. The robe of the ephod, worn by the high priest, was adorned with alternating bells and pomegranates along its hem. The sound of the bells was significant, as it announced the high priest's movements, especially when he entered and exited the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement. This was a matter of life and death, as the sound indicated that the high priest was alive and had not been struck down by God’s holiness due to any impurity.
