Linen, derived from flax, was a common fabric in ancient Egypt and the Near East, known for its quality and durability. The use of fine linen symbolizes righteousness and purity, as seen in <a href="/revelation/19-8.htm">Revelation 19:8</a>, where the fine linen represents the righteous acts of the saints. The weaving process required skill and precision, reflecting the care and dedication required in serving God.

It signified authority and the consecration of the priest to God. The turban's design and material underscored the importance of maintaining a pure mind and heart in service to God. In <a href="/zechariah/3-5.htm">Zechariah 3:5</a>, the high priest Joshua is given a clean turban, symbolizing his restored status and purity before God. The turban's role in the priestly attire points to the need for holiness in leadership and service.<p><b>and fashion an embroidered sash</b><br>The embroidered sash was a decorative and functional piece of the priestly garments, used to secure the tunic. Embroidery required skill and artistry, indicating the beauty and intricacy of God's design for worship. The sash's embroidery may have included colors and patterns that held symbolic meaning, such as blue, purple, and scarlet, which are associated with royalty and divinity. The sash's function and design highlight the importance of order and beauty in worship, as well as the priest's role in maintaining the sanctity of the tabernacle.

THE INNER TUNIC OR "COAT."</span><p>(39) The garments hitherto described have been the outer garments. To these are now added the inner ones, of which there was but little to be said. They consisted of linen drawers (<a href="/context/exodus/28-42.htm" title="And you shall make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach:">Exodus 28:42-43</a>), a linen tunic or shirt, woven in a peculiar way, and, to confine the tunic, a girdle, which was to be of many colours (<a href="/exodus/39-29.htm" title="And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.">Exodus 39:29</a>), and ornamented with embroidery.<p><span class= "bld">Thou shalt embroider.</span>--It is generally agreed that this is a wrong rendering. Kalisch translates, "thou shalt weave." Gesenius, "thou shalt work in chequer." Canon Cook, "thou shalt weave in diaper work." The word used, which is a rare one, probably designates some peculiar kind of weaving.<p><span class= "bld">The coat.</span>--"Coat" is an unfortunate translation. The <span class= "ital">ketoneth </span>(comp. Gr. <span class= "greekheb">?????</span>) was a long white linen tunic or shirt, having tight-fitting sleeves, and reaching nearly to the feet. The sleeves must certainly have shown, as they were the only covering of the priest's arms; and the lower part of the tunic probably showed below the "robe of the ephod."<p><span class= "bld">6. THE INNER GIRDLE.</span><p>It appears from <a href="/exodus/39-29.htm" title="And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.">Exodus 39:29</a> that the girdle was to be "of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet," like the ephod (<a href="/exodus/28-6.htm" title="And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.">Exodus 28:6</a>). It was not, however, to be woven of these colours, but to have them worked into it with the needle. As it was worn immediately above the tunic and underneath the robe of the ephod (<a href="/leviticus/8-7.htm" title="And he put on him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it to him therewith.">Leviticus 8:7</a>), little, if any, of it could have been seen. Perhaps, however, the ends may have depended below the robe of the ephod. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/28.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 39.</span> - THE TUNIC AND GIRDLE. From the outer garments, which were the most important and distinctive, a transition is now made to the inner ones, in which there was nothing very remarkable. The linen drawers are for the present omitted, as not peculiar to the high priest. Directions are given for the tunic and the girdle. The former is to be woven in some peculiar way - so as to be diapered, as some think - and the latter is to be "the work of the embroiderer." <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 39.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Thou shalt embroider</span>. This is certainly not the meaning of the Hebrew. Some peculiar mode of weaving the coat is intended. <span class="cmt_word">The coat</span>. Rather, "the tunic" or "shirt." The <span class="accented">keloneth</span> was a long linen gown or cassock, worn immediately over the drawers. It reached to the feet, and had tightly-fitting sleeves (Joseph. <span class="accented">Ant. Jud.</span> 3:7, § 2). Whether it showed beneath the "robe of the ephod," or not, is uncertain; but the sleeves must certainly have been visible. The <span class="accented">keloneth</span> was white. <span class="cmt_word">Thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen</span>. This direction had not been previously given. It is a little out of place. <span class="cmt_word">Thou shalt make the girdle of</span> <span class="cmt_word">needlework.</span> Literally, "of the work of the embroiderer." The girdle was worn directly over the linen shirt, and under "the robe of the ephod." It would seem that it was not seen at all, unless its ends hung down below "the robe of the ephod." It was however to be artistically embroidered (See <a href="/exodus/39-29.htm">Exodus 39:29</a>.) <p> CHAPTER 28:40-43 <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/exodus/28-39.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">You are to weave</span><br /><span class="heb">וְשִׁבַּצְתָּ֙</span> <span class="translit">(wə·šib·baṣ·tā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7660.htm">Strong's 7660: </a> </span><span class="str2">To interweave, threads in squares, to inchase gems in gold</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the tunic</span><br /><span class="heb">הַכְּתֹ֣נֶת</span> <span class="translit">(hak·kə·ṯō·neṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun - feminine singular<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">with fine linen,</span><br /><span class="heb">שֵׁ֔שׁ</span> <span class="translit">(šêš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8336.htm">Strong's 8336: </a> </span><span class="str2">Bleached stuff, white linen, marble</span><br /><br /><span class="word">make</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעָשִׂ֖יתָ</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">the turban</span><br /><span class="heb">מִצְנֶ֣פֶת</span> <span class="translit">(miṣ·ne·p̄eṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4701.htm">Strong's 4701: </a> </span><span class="str2">Turban (of the high priest)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of fine linen,</span><br /><span class="heb">שֵׁ֑שׁ</span> <span class="translit">(šêš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8336.htm">Strong's 8336: </a> </span><span class="str2">Bleached stuff, white linen, marble</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and fashion</span><br /><span class="heb">תַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה</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">an embroidered</span><br /><span class="heb">רֹקֵֽם׃</span> <span class="translit">(rō·qêm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7551.htm">Strong's 7551: </a> </span><span class="str2">To variegate color, embroider, to fabricate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">sash.</span><br /><span class="heb">וְאַבְנֵ֥ט</span> <span class="translit">(wə·’aḇ·nêṭ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_73.htm">Strong's 73: </a> </span><span class="str2">A girdle</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/exodus/28-39.htm">Exodus 28:39 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/exodus/28-39.htm">OT Law: Exodus 28:39 You shall weave the coat in checker (Exo.
