Exodus 39:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 39:1

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths
of service
Jarchi observes that there is no mention made of linen, because these were not the priestly garments in which there was linen; but these were they with which they covered the vessels of the sanctuary when they journeyed; and so says Aben Ezra; and those were covered with cloths of blue, purple, and scarlet, ( Numbers 4:5-15 ) though some think these were clothes wore by the priests:

to do service in the holy place:
and which they only wore when in it, and employed in the service of it; and therefore what follows must be by way of explanation:

and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lord commanded Moses;
the particulars of which are given in the following verses.

Exodus 39:1 In-Context

1 And of the Iacyncte, scarlet, purple and twyned bysse, they made the vestimetes of ministracion to do seruyce in in that holye place, and made the holye garmentes that perteyned to Aaron, as the Lorde: commaunded Moses.

2 And they made the Ephod of golde, Iacinte, scarlet, purple, and twyned bysse.

3 And they dyd beate the golde in to thynne plates, ad cutte it in to wyres: to worke it in the Iacincte, scarlet, purple and the bysse, with broderd worke.

4 And they made the sydes come together, and cloosed them vp by the two edges.

5 And the brodrynge of the girdel that was vpon it, was of the same stuffe and after the same worke of golde, Iacincte, scarlet, purple and twyned bysse, as the Lorde commaunded Moses.
