Exodus 28-29
An Overview of Chapter 28
God gives Moses detailed instructions for making priestly outfits for Aaron and his sons. These uniforms will be for glory and beauty. They will be made by very skilled craftsmen who God gave the gift of wisdom.
Aaron’s holy clothes will consist of a breastplate, ephod, a tunic, a turban, a sash, and shoulder pieces. The outfit will be made with gold, blue, purple, scarlet material as well as linen. The shoulder pieces will have the names of the sons of Israel on them so Aaron can bear them before God. The breast-piece will also bear the name of the 12 sons of Israel (on multiple gems) and be over his heart as he passes judgment. The breast-piece will also hold the mystic Urim and Thumim. The hem of his tunic will have bells and pomegranates so God and the Israelites can hear him coming and going in the tent of meeting. His turban will have a gold plate on it that says “Holy to the Lord.”
Aaron’s sons work clothes will be a tunics, sashes and caps.
Aaron and his sons will need to be anointed, ordained, and consecrated.
They will also get a set of linen boxers that they have to wear when working. If they don’t wear them under their uniform God will kill them.
An Overview of Chapter 29
The instructions for the consecration of Aaron and his sons consisted of bathing, anointing and some burnt offerings. The process begins with all of them getting a bath in front of the tent of meeting. Then they got dressed in their new uniforms and anointed with oil.
After slaughtering the animals some of the blood is sprinkled on the priests and the altar. A portion of the meat offering is for Aaron and his sons to eat. The whole process took seven days with sacrifices on each day.
