Bell

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" (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.
