הזהירנו מקרוע פי מעיל כהן גדול אבל יהיה ארוג כמו שהוגבל. והוא אמרו יתעלה כפי תחרא יהיה לו לא יקרע, ומי שחתכו במספרים או הדומה להם לוקה. (שם, שם):

Sefaria Edition 2021, Translated by Rabbi Francis Nataf

He prohibited us from tearing the edge of the robe of the high priest, but it should rather be woven to its border. And that is His, may He be exalted, saying, "it shall be like the opening of a coat of mail, that it not tear" (Exodus 28:32). And one who cuts it with scissors, or that which is similar to them, is lashed. (See Parashat Tetzaveh; Mishneh Torah, Vessels of the Sanctuary and Those who Serve Therein 9.)
