In the context of the priestly garments, gold represents the divine nature and glory of God. The use of gold in the tabernacle and priestly attire signifies the holiness and set-apart nature of the priesthood. Gold was a common material in ancient Near Eastern cultures for items of significant religious and royal importance, underscoring the sacred role of the priests. The use of gold also foreshadows the divine nature of Jesus Christ, who is described as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.<p><b>along with blue</b><br>Blue is frequently associated with the heavens and the divine in biblical symbolism. The use of blue in the priestly garments may represent the heavenly origin of the priestly office and the connection between God and His people. Blue was a costly dye in ancient times, derived from the murex shellfish, indicating the value and importance of the priestly role. This color is also seen in the construction of the tabernacle, linking the priestly garments to the dwelling place of God among His people.<p><b>purple</b><br>Purple is a color traditionally associated with royalty and wealth. In the ancient world, purple dye was extremely expensive and labor-intensive to produce, often reserved for royalty and the elite. The inclusion of purple in the priestly garments highlights the regal aspect of the priesthood, as the priests serve as mediators between God and His people. This royal symbolism points to Jesus Christ, who is both our High Priest and King.<p><b>and scarlet yarn</b><br>Scarlet, a vivid red color, often symbolizes sacrifice and atonement in the Bible. The use of scarlet in the priestly garments may point to the sacrificial system and the shedding of blood for the atonement of sins. This color is significant in the context of the priesthood, as the priests were responsible for offering sacrifices on behalf of the people. Scarlet also prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the redemption of humanity.<p><b>and fine linen</b><br>Fine linen represents purity and righteousness. In the ancient Near East, linen was a high-quality fabric, often associated with nobility and priestly service. The use of fine linen in the priestly garments underscores the need for purity and holiness in those who serve before God. Linen's association with righteousness is echoed in Revelation, where the saints are described as wearing fine linen, symbolizing their righteous acts. This connection to righteousness and purity is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is the sinless High Priest.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the instructions for the priestly garments from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>Moses' brother, who was appointed as the first high priest of Israel.
