Blue was a color associated with the priesthood and the tabernacle, as seen in other parts of Exodus. The blue cord here signifies the heavenly calling and divine authority of the high priest. In <a href="/numbers/15-38.htm">Numbers 15:38-39</a>, the Israelites are instructed to wear tassels with a blue cord to remember God's commandments, further emphasizing the color's spiritual significance.<p><b>to mount it on the turban</b><br>The turban, or "mitre," was part of the high priest's sacred garments, signifying his role and authority. The turban was made of fine linen, representing purity and holiness. Mounting the engraved plate on the turban indicates the importance of the high priest's role as a mediator between God and the people. The turban's placement on the head symbolizes the submission of the mind and thoughts to God's will, aligning with the New Testament call for believers to have the mind of Christ (<a href="/philippians/2-5.htm">Philippians 2:5</a>).<p><b>it shall be on the front of the turban</b><br>Positioning the engraved plate on the front of the turban ensures it is visible, signifying the high priest's public representation of holiness and dedication to God. This visibility serves as a constant reminder of the high priest's duty to bear the iniquity of the people and to intercede on their behalf. The front placement also symbolizes the forefront of one's thoughts and actions being dedicated to God, paralleling the New Testament teaching of living a life that reflects Christ's holiness (<a href="/1_peter/1-15.htm">1 Peter 1:15-16</a>).<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>The brother of Moses, who was appointed as the first high priest of Israel.
