In the context of the priesthood, these garments are not merely functional but are imbued with spiritual significance. They symbolize the holiness and set-apart nature of the priestly office. The act of taking these garments signifies preparation and consecration, setting the stage for Aaron's role as high priest. Historically, these garments were crafted with precision and care, reflecting the divine instructions given to Moses, emphasizing the importance of obedience and reverence in worship.<p><b>clothe Aaron</b><br />The Hebrew verb "לָבַשׁ" (lavash) means to put on or wear. Clothing Aaron in these specific garments is an act of consecration, marking him as chosen and sanctified for service to God. This act is symbolic of being covered in righteousness and purity, necessary for approaching the holy presence of God. In a broader scriptural context, clothing often represents spiritual readiness and the righteousness bestowed upon believers.<p><b>with the tunic</b><br />The "tunic" or "כֻּתֹּנֶת" (kuttonet) is a long garment worn next to the skin, symbolizing purity and foundational righteousness. It serves as the base layer of the priestly attire, indicating that righteousness must underlie all other aspects of service to God. The tunic's simplicity contrasts with the more ornate outer garments, reminding us that true service begins with a pure heart.<p><b>the robe of the ephod</b><br />The "robe" or "מְעִיל" (me'il) is a sleeveless outer garment, often associated with dignity and authority. The robe of the ephod is specifically designed for the high priest, signifying his unique role and responsibilities. The ephod itself, a sacred vestment, is integral to the high priest's identity, representing his mediatory role between God and the people. Historically, the ephod was intricately woven, reflecting the beauty and complexity of God's covenant with Israel.<p><b>the ephod itself</b><br />The "אֵפוֹד" (ephod) is a distinctive priestly garment, often made of fine linen and adorned with gold, blue, purple, and scarlet threads. It symbolizes the high priest's role as an intercessor and bearer of the people's burdens before God. The ephod's design, with its attached breastpiece, underscores the connection between divine guidance and priestly service, as the high priest seeks God's will for the nation.<p><b>and the breastpiece</b><br />The "חֹשֶׁן" (choshen) or breastpiece is a square, ornate piece worn over the ephod, containing twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. This signifies the high priest's role in carrying the people before God, interceding on their behalf. The breastpiece is also associated with the Urim and Thummim, tools for discerning God's will, highlighting the importance of divine guidance in leadership.<p><b>Fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband</b><br />The "woven waistband" or "חֵשֶׁב" (cheshev) is a skillfully crafted belt that secures the ephod, symbolizing readiness and commitment to service. Fastening the ephod with this waistband signifies the binding of the priest to his sacred duties, ensuring that he is fully equipped and prepared to serve. This act of fastening reflects the need for dedication and steadfastness in fulfilling one's God-given responsibilities. Historically, the craftsmanship of the waistband, like the other garments, reflects the care and precision required in serving a holy God.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/exodus/29.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(5) <span class= "bld">Thou shalt take the garments</span>--<span class= "ital">i.e.</span>, those described in the preceding chapter.<p><span class= "bld">The coat</span>--<span class= "ital">i.e., </span>the linen tunic (<a href="/exodus/28-39.htm" title="And you shall embroider the coat of fine linen, and you shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the girdle of needlework.">Exodus 28:39</a>).
