Yes, specifically it is written in Exodus 28:34-35
A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the
hem of the robe round about
And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he
goeth in unto the holy [place] before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that
he die not.
