    In Exodus 28:33 and Exodus 39:25, plural construct forms occur in clauses placing the items among pomegranates on the robe’s hem; the APB renders the surrounding clauses with “bells of gold” and “the bells.” In Exodus 28:34 and Exodus 39:26, singular forms mark the repeated item paired with a pomegranate, and the APB renders the pattern “A bell … and a pomegranate.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the items as “bells,” including “bells of gold” and the repeated singular pattern “A bell and a pomegranate.” This reflects the clauses’ presentation rather than a separate lexical distinction.
