Exodus 39:26
24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely spun linen on the lower hem of the robe.
25 They also made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates,
alternating the bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
27 For Aaron and his sons they made tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver,
28 as well as the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands and undergarments of finely spun linen,
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
