Esodo 28:40 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 28:40

And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats
Of fine linen, of woven work, as in ( Exodus 39:27 ) , these were different from the broidered coat of the high priest, and the blue robe of the ephod:

and thou shall make for them girdles;
linen ones, to gird up their linen coats, which were long, that they might the more expeditiously perform their service; and which is an instruction to all the priests of the Lord, true believers in Christ, to be ready, forward, and diligent in the work of the Lord; and especially to ministers of the word, who, as their doctrines and lives ought to be pure, signified by the priest's linen garment, so they should be girt about with the girdle of truth, and ready upon all occasions to publish and defend it, and to do their work with cheerfulness and faithfulness:

and bonnets shall thou make for them:
these were coverings for the head, and of the same kind with the mitre of the high priest, and of the same length, but differed from that in the manner of wrapping the linen, of which they were made, (See Gill on Exodus 28:39): and all these were to be made

for glory and beauty:
to beautify and adorn them, to make them look like persons of some note and figure, and that they might be respectable among men, and typical, as they all were, of our great and glorious High Priest, the Son of God.

Esodo 28:40 In-Context

38 Starà sulla fronte d’Aaronne, e Aaronne porterà le iniquità commesse dai figliuoli d’Israele nelle cose sante che consacreranno, in ogni genere di sante offerte; ed essa starà continuamente sulla fronte di lui, per renderli graditi nel cospetto dell’Eterno.

39 Farai pure la tunica di lino fino, lavorata a maglia; farai una mitra di lino fino, e farai una cintura in lavoro di ricamo.

40 E per i figliuoli d’Aaronne farai delle tuniche, farai delle cinture, e farai delle tiare, come insegne della loro dignità e come ornamento.

41 E ne vestirai Aaronne, tuo fratello, e i suoi figliuoli con lui; e li ungerai, li consacrerai e li santificherai perché mi esercitino l’ufficio di sacerdoti.

42 Farai anche loro delle brache di lino per coprire la loro nudità; esse andranno dai fianchi fino alle cosce.
