And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
There must be an opening in the center at the top of it. The opening should have a woven border around it, like the neck opening of a coat of armor, so that it won't tear.
God is giving specific instructions for making the high priest's robe with a reinforced neck opening to prevent it from tearing during use.
