The tunics were long garments, often made of fine linen, symbolizing purity and righteousness. Sashes were used to bind the tunics, representing readiness for service and commitment. Headbands, or turbans, were worn as a sign of authority and dedication to God. These garments set the priests apart, indicating their consecration and special role in mediating between God and the Israelites.

The chapter concludes with brief directions concerning the official attire of the ordinary priests. This was to consist of linen drawers like those of the high priest; of a tunic, also of linen (<a href="/exodus/39-27.htm">Exodus 39:27</a>), shaped like his, but not diapered; of a linen girdle, the exact character of which is not stated; and of a close-fitting cap. The entire dress, with perhaps the exception of the girdle, was white. The linen drawers were regarded as of primary necessity, and the priest who did not wear them was threatened with death. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 40.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">For Aaron's sons</span>. His actual sons at this time - his descendants afterwards, to whom the priesthood was rigidly confined. <span class="cmt_word">Thou shalt make coats</span>. The verb is different from that used in ver 39, and seems to imply that the priests' tunics were not to be patterned. <span class="cmt_word">Girdles</span>. It has generally been supposed that these were of the same material and workmanship as the high priest's; but this is nowhere stated. In <a href="/exodus/39-29.htm">Exodus 39:29</a>, the high priest's girdle alone is spoken cf. <span class="cmt_word">Bonnets</span>. Certainly not "bonnets "in the modern sense. Plain, close-fitting caps, shaped like a cup, or rather basin, seem to be meant. Such caps were often worn in Egypt, but not by the priests. <span class="cmt_word">For glory and for beauty</span>. See above, ver. 2. It is very noticeable, that the extremely simple attire of the ordinary priests - a dress of pure white, without anything ornamental about it, unless it were the girdle - is still regarded as sufficient "for glory and for beauty." White robes have certainly a vast amount of scriptural testimony in their favour (<a href="/leviticus/16-4.htm">Leviticus 16:4</a>; <a href="/mark/9-3.htm">Mark 9:3</a>; <a href="/john/20-12.htm">John 20:12</a>; <a href="/acts/1-10.htm">Acts 1:10</a>; <a href="/revelation/4-4.htm">Revelation 4:4</a>; <a href="/revelation/6-11.htm">Revelation 6:11</a>; <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9, 14</a>, etc.). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/28-40.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Make</span><br /><span class="heb">תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה</span> <span class="translit">(ta·‘ă·śeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><br /><span class="word">tunics,</span><br /><span class="heb">כֻתֳּנֹ֔ת</span> <span class="translit">(ḵut·to·nōṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3801.htm">Strong's 3801: </a> </span><span class="str2">A shirt</span><br /><br /><span class="word">sashes,</span><br /><span class="heb">אַבְנֵטִ֑ים</span> <span class="translit">(’aḇ·nê·ṭîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_73.htm">Strong's 73: </a> </span><span class="str2">A girdle</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and headbands</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמִגְבָּעוֹת֙</span> <span class="translit">(ū·miḡ·bā·‘ō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4021.htm">Strong's 4021: </a> </span><span class="str2">Headgear, a turban</span><br /><br /><span class="word">for Aaron’s</span><br /><span class="heb">אַהֲרֹן֙</span> <span class="translit">(’a·hă·rōn)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_175.htm">Strong's 175: </a> </span><span class="str2">Aaron -- an elder brother of Moses</span><br /><br /><span class="word">sons,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלִבְנֵ֤י</span> <span class="translit">(wə·liḇ·nê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to give</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘ā·śî·ṯā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><br /><span class="word">them dignity</span><br /><span class="heb">לְכָב֖וֹד</span> <span class="translit">(lə·ḵā·ḇō·wḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3519.htm">Strong's 3519: </a> </span><span class="str2">Weight, splendor, copiousness</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and splendor.</span><br /><span class="heb">וּלְתִפְאָֽרֶת׃</span> <span class="translit">(ū·lə·ṯip̄·’ā·reṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8597.htm">Strong's 8597: </a> </span><span class="str2">Beauty, glory</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/exodus/28-40.htm">Exodus 28:40 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/exodus/28-40.htm">OT Law: Exodus 28:40 You shall make coats for Aaron's sons (Exo.
