The use of pure gold signifies the preciousness and purity required in approaching God, reflecting the divine nature and glory. Gold was a common material in the tabernacle, representing the heavenly and the divine. This plate was part of the high priest's garments, as described in <a href="/exodus/28-36.htm">Exodus 28:36-38</a>, and was worn on the forehead, signifying the bearing of the people's iniquity and the need for holiness in service to God.<p><b>and they engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal</b><br>The engraving process was meticulous, akin to the work of a skilled craftsman creating a seal. Seals in ancient times were used to denote ownership, authenticity, and authority. The comparison to a seal emphasizes the permanence and official nature of the inscription. This act of engraving signifies the unchanging and eternal nature of God's holiness and the priest's role in representing the people before God. The precision required in engraving reflects the care and reverence due in matters concerning God.<p><b>HOLY TO THE LORD</b><br>This phrase encapsulates the essence of the high priest's role and the purpose of the priesthood. "Holy" denotes being set apart, consecrated for a specific purpose, and dedicated to God. The high priest, wearing this inscription, was a constant reminder of the need for holiness in worship and service. This concept of holiness is central throughout Scripture, as seen in <a href="/leviticus/19-2.htm">Leviticus 19:2</a>, where God commands His people to be holy as He is holy. The phrase also foreshadows the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who perfectly embodies holiness and mediates between God and humanity. In the New Testament, believers are called to be a "royal priesthood" (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>), reflecting this call to holiness in their lives.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/bezalel_and_oholiab.htm">Bezalel and Oholiab</a></b><br>Skilled craftsmen appointed by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings, including the priestly garments.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who contributed materials and labor for the construction of the Tabernacle.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the presence of God among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_high_priest.htm">The High Priest</a></b><br>The spiritual leader of Israel, who wore the holy crown as part of his sacred garments.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where God gave Moses the instructions for building the Tabernacle and the priestly garments.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_in_service.htm">Holiness in Service</a></b><br>The inscription "HOLY TO THE LORD" signifies the set-apart nature of the high priest's role.
