Put the turban on his head
The Hebrew word for "turban" is "מִצְנֶפֶת" (mitznefet), which refers to a headpiece worn by the high priest. This turban was a symbol of the priest's consecration and dedication to God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, head coverings often signified authority and status. The act of placing the turban on the priest's head signifies the conferring of divine authority and the setting apart of the priest for sacred service. The head, being the seat of thought and decision, symbolizes the priest's role in leading the people in worship and maintaining the sanctity of the tabernacle.

and attach the holy diadem
The "holy diadem" is translated from the Hebrew "נֵזֶר" (nezer), meaning a crown or a consecrated object. This diadem was a gold plate inscribed with "Holy to the LORD" (Exodus 28:36), signifying the priest's holiness and his role as an intermediary between God and the people. The diadem's attachment to the turban underscores the inseparable nature of holiness and leadership in the priestly office. Historically, crowns and diadems were symbols of royalty and divine favor, indicating that the high priest was not only a servant but also a representative of God's kingdom on earth.

to the turban
The turban, as part of the priestly garments, was made of fine linen, representing purity and righteousness. The attachment of the diadem to the turban signifies the integration of holiness into every aspect of the priest's service. In the broader scriptural context, this act symbolizes the call for all believers to pursue holiness and to wear the "helmet of salvation" (Ephesians 6:17), which protects and sanctifies the mind. The turban and diadem together illustrate the complete dedication required of those who serve in God's presence, reminding us of the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who perfectly embodies holiness and righteousness.

(6) The holy crown.--The golden plate, inscribed with "Holiness to the Lord," and attached to the mitre by a lace or riband, resembled the "diadems" worn in the East by monarchs, and regarded as the main emblem of their sovereignty. In Egypt, such a diadem is found first in the reign of Amenophis IV. (Khuenaten), the ninth king of the eighteenth dynasty. The assignment of a crown to the high priest gave him that quasi-royal dignity which marked him as a type of our Lord in His threefold office of Prophet, Priest, and King.

Verse 6. - The holy crown. The plate of gold with its blue ribbon, or lace, formed a species of diadem, such as in the East seems to have been always regarded as the special emblem of royalty. An ornament of the kind seems to have been introduced into Egypt by Khuenaten or Amenophis IV. It marked the royal character of the high priest, who, as the main type of Christ in the Mosaic law, was bound to be "Prophet, Priest, and King." (Compare Leviticus 8:9.)
