Éxodo 28:41 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 28:41

And thou shall put them on Aaron thy brother, and his sons
with him
And this putting on of their garments by Moses, under the authority of God, was a solemn investiture of them with the priestly office also; for from henceforward they had a right to exercise it, having those garments on, without which they were never to officiate:

and shall anoint them;
with the anointing oil, of which afterwards a particular account is given, and how to be made, and for what use, ( Exodus 30:22-30 ) , typical of the holy graces of the Spirit of God:

and consecrate them;
the consecration of them was by investing them with their garments, and by anointing them with oil; for this phrase does not intend the whole of their consecration, only another branch of it, and may be literally rendered, "fill their hand" ^F16; that is, with sacrifices to be offered up by them, see ( Exodus 29:1 Exodus 29:24 ) ( 2 Chronicles 13:9 )

and sanctify them;
by all this, set them apart, and devote them to the sacred office of priesthood:

that they may minister unto me in the priest's office;
by offering sacrifices for the people, burning incense, and doing other things relative to the office.

Éxodo 28:41 In-Context

39 Y bordarás una túnica de lino, y harás una mitra de lino; harás también un cinto de obra de recamador.

40 Y para los hijos de Aarón harás túnicas; también les harás cintos, y les formarás chapeos tiaras para honra y hermosura.

41 Y con ellos vestirás a Aarón tu hermano, y a sus hijos con él; y los ungirás, y llenarás sus manos, y santificarás, para que sean mis sacerdotes.

42 Y les harás calzoncillos de lino para cubrir la carne vergonzosa; serán desde los lomos hasta los muslos:

43 Y estarán sobre Aarón y sobre sus hijos cuando entraren en el tabernáculo del testimonio, o cuando se llegaren al altar para servir en el santuario, para que no lleven pecado, y mueran. Estatuto perpetuo para él, y para su simiente después de él.
