Easton

The bells first mentioned in Scripture are the small golden bells attached to the hem of the high priest's ephod (Ex 28:33-34,35). The "bells of the horses" mentioned by Zechariah (Zec 14:20) were attached to the bridles or belts round the necks of horses trained for war, so as to accustom them to noise and tumult.

A number of small bronze bells, both of the ordinary shape with clapper and of the 'ball and slit' form, have been found at Gezer (Quarterly Statement of the same, 1904, 354, with illustt.). The bells of 'pure gold' (Ex 39:25), which alternated with pomegranate ornaments on the skirt of the high priest's robe (Ex 28:33 f.), were doubtless of one or other of these forms. Their purpose is stated in Ex 28:35, but the underlying idea is obscure (see the Comm.). The 'bells of the horses' of Zec 14:20 represent another word akin to that rendered 'cymbals.' Whether these ornaments were really bells or, as is usually supposed, small metal discs (cf. the 'crescents' of Jg 8:21 RV) Is uncertain.
