and the woven garments
The phrase "woven garments" refers to the intricately crafted clothing made specifically for the service in the tabernacle. In Hebrew, the word for "woven" is "שָׁרוּק" (sharuk), which implies a skillful and deliberate process of creation. These garments were not merely functional but were designed to reflect the glory and holiness of God. The craftsmanship involved in weaving these garments symbolizes the care and dedication required in serving God, reminding us that our service should be done with excellence and reverence.

for ministering in the sanctuary
The term "ministering" comes from the Hebrew root "שָׁרַת" (sharat), meaning to serve or attend. This service was not just a physical act but a spiritual duty, highlighting the sacredness of the sanctuary, the dwelling place of God among His people. The sanctuary, or "מִקְדָּשׁ" (mikdash), was a holy place set apart for worship and communion with God. This phrase underscores the importance of approaching God with a heart of service and dedication, recognizing the privilege and responsibility of ministering in His presence.

both the holy garments
The "holy garments" were set apart for a divine purpose, as indicated by the Hebrew word "קֹדֶשׁ" (qodesh), meaning holy or sacred. These garments were not ordinary clothing but were consecrated for use in the service of God. They symbolize the righteousness and purity required of those who approach God, reminding us of the need for holiness in our own lives as we serve Him.

for Aaron the priest
Aaron, the brother of Moses, was appointed as the first high priest of Israel. The Hebrew word for priest, "כֹּהֵן" (kohen), signifies one who mediates between God and the people. Aaron's role was crucial in the spiritual life of Israel, as he performed sacrifices and rituals that pointed to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This phrase highlights the importance of spiritual leadership and the responsibility of those who are called to guide others in their relationship with God.

and the garments for his sons
Aaron's sons were also appointed as priests, serving alongside their father. This familial aspect of the priesthood emphasizes the continuity of spiritual service and the importance of passing down faith and responsibility to the next generation. The garments for Aaron's sons were similar to his, signifying their shared role in the priestly duties and the unity required in serving God.

to serve as priests
The phrase "to serve as priests" reiterates the purpose of the garments and the role of Aaron and his sons. The Hebrew word "לְכַהֵן" (lekahen) means to act as a priest, emphasizing the active and ongoing nature of their service. This service was not just a duty but a calling, a divine appointment to represent the people before God and to lead them in worship. It serves as a reminder of our own calling to serve God and others with dedication and faithfulness, reflecting His holiness in our lives.

Verse 19. - The cloths of service. See the comment on Exodus 31:10.
