and the hole of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent.

With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong.

Και ητο ανοιγμα εν τω μεσω του ποδηρους, ως ανοιγμα θωρακος, με ταινιαν κυκλω του ανοιγματος, δια να μη σχιζηται.

And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

The opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.
