The place and time of their consecration He put the tunic on Aaron The "tunic" (Hebrew: כֻּתֹּנֶת, kuttonet) was a long garment worn next to the skin, symbolizing purity and righteousness. In the context of the priesthood, it represents the foundational layer of holiness required for those who serve before God. The act of putting the tunic on Aaron signifies the beginning of his consecration, setting him apart for sacred duties. Historically, the tunic was a common garment, but in the priestly context, it takes on a deeper spiritual significance, representing the righteousness that covers and prepares one for service. wrapped the sash around him clothed him in the robe put the ephod on him He fastened the ephod with its woven waistband tying it around him Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Importance of HolinessThe detailed instructions for Aaron's garments highlight the holiness required in approaching God. As believers, we are called to live holy lives, set apart for God's purposes. Symbolism of the Garments Each piece of the high priest's attire had symbolic meaning, pointing to the spiritual truths of purity, righteousness, and service. Reflect on how our "spiritual garments" should reflect Christ's righteousness. Role of the Mediator Aaron's role as a mediator foreshadows Christ's ultimate mediation between God and humanity. We can approach God with confidence through Jesus, our high priest. Obedience to God's Commands Moses' careful adherence to God's instructions for the consecration ceremony underscores the importance of obedience in our walk with God. Priestly Identity of Believers As a royal priesthood, believers are called to represent God to the world and intercede for others, following the example set by the Old Testament priests.(7) And he put upon him the coat.--Better, and he put upon him the tunic. For this garment see Leviticus 6:10, and Exodus 28:39. It will be seen that the first article of dress--viz., the drawers--distinctly mentioned in Exodus 28:42, is here omitted. This arises from the fact that, being nearest to the skin, Aaron put them on himself behind the curtain, immediately after his ablution. And girded him with the girdle.--Not the band of the ephod, which is mentioned further on by the name of "curious girdle," but the one made of needlework, with which the tunic was girded about the loins. (See Leviticus 6:10, and Exodus 28:39.) . . . Verses 7-9. - The robing. The various articles of the priestly dress had been appointed and described before (Exodus 28, 29). In these verses we see the order in which they were put on. After the priests had, no doubt, changed their linen drawers, there came, first, the coat, that is, a close-fitting tunic of white linen, made with sleeves and covering the whole body; next the girdle of the tunic, that is, a linen sash for tying the tunic round the body, with variegated ends hanging on each side to the ankles; thirdly, the robe, that is, a blue vesture, woven of one piece, with holes for the head and arms to pass through, reaching from the neck to below the knee, the bottom being ornamented with blue, purple, and scarlet pomegranates, alternating with golden bells; fourthly, the ephod, which consisted of two shoulder-pieces, or epaulettes, made of variegated linen and gold thread, fastened together in front and at the back by a narrow strap or band, from which hung, before and behind the wearer, two pieces of cloth confined below by the curious girdle of the ephod, that is, by a sash made of the same material as the ephod itself. Into the ephod were sewn two onyxes, one on each shoulder, in gold filigree settings, one of them engraven with the names of half of the tribes, and the other with the remaining half; and from two rosettes or buttons by the side of these stones depended twisted gold chains for the support of the breastplate. Fifth came the breastplate, which was a square pocket, made of embroidered linen, a span long and a span broad, worn upon the breast and hanging from the gold chains above mentioned, the lower ends of the gold chain being tied to two rings at the upper and outer corner of the breastplate, while the upper and inner corner of the same was attached to the ephod by blue thread running through two sets of rings in the breastplate and ephod respectively. The outer side of the breastplate was stiffened and adorned by twelve precious stones, set in four rows of three, each stone having on it the name of one of the tribes of Israel. The breastplate being double and the two sides and the bottom being sewn up, the pocket formed by it had its opening at the top. Into this pocket were placed the Urim and the Thummim, which were probably two balls of different colours, one of which on being drawn out indicated the approval of God, and the other his disapproval, as to any point on which the high priest consulted him. (The Jewish tradition, that the Divine answer by the Urim and the Thummim came by a supernatural light thrown on certain letters in the names of the tribes, has no foundation.) The last part of the dress to be put on was the mitre, or head-dress of linen, probably of the nature of a turban; to which, by a blue string, was attached the golden plate, in such a way that it rested lengthwise on the forehead, and on this plate or holy crown were inscribed the words," Holiness to the Lord." The investiture took place as the Lord commanded Moses, that is, in accordance with the instructions given in Exodus 28. Its purpose and its meaning in the eyes of the people would have been twofold: first, after the manner of the king's crown and the judge's robe, it served to manifest the fact that the function of priest was committed to the wearer; and next, it symbolized the necessity of being clothed upon with the righteousness of God, in order to be able to act as interpreter and mediator between God and man, thus foreshadowing the Divine Nature of him who should be the Mediator in antitype.Parallel Commentaries ...
