Esodo 28:3

3 E parla a tutti gli uomini industriosi, i quali io ho ripieni di spirito d’industria, che facciano i vestimenti di Aaronne, per consacrarlo, acciocchè mi eserciti il sacerdozio.

Esodo 28:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 28:3

And thou shall speak unto all that are wise hearted
That have knowledge and understanding in mechanic arts, particularly in making garments; and it required men of more than ordinary skill to be employed in making these, because they were uncommon ones, and required a good deal of thought and judgment, and care and application, to make them exactly as they should be:

whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom;
for besides a common understanding of things, these required a peculiar gift from God, which some men, as Bezaleel and Aholiab had:

that they may make Aaron's garments, to consecrate him
to put upon him at the time of his consecration; and indeed this was one way, by which, as well as by sacrifices, that he was consecrated, see ( Exodus 29:1 Exodus 29:5 Exodus 29:6 ) ,

that he may minister unto me in the priest's office
for the priests, without having these garments on, might not minister in their office; for when these garments were off, as they were when they were out of their service, they were as other men, as laymen, (See Gill on Ezekiel 42:14).

Esodo 28:3 In-Context

1 E TU, fa’ accostare a te, d’infra i figliuoli d’Israele, Aaronne tuo fratello, e i suoi figliuoli con lui, per esercitarmi il sacerdozio; Aaronne, dico, e Nadab, e Abihu, ed Eleazaro, e Itamar, figliuoli di Aaronne.

2 E fa’ ad Aaronne, tuo fratello, de’ vestimenti sacri, a gloria ed ornamento.

3 E parla a tutti gli uomini industriosi, i quali io ho ripieni di spirito d’industria, che facciano i vestimenti di Aaronne, per consacrarlo, acciocchè mi eserciti il sacerdozio.

4 E questi sono i vestimenti che hanno da fare; il Pettorale, e l’Efod, e il Manto, e la Tonica trapunta; la Benda, e la Cintura. Facciano adunque i vestimenti sacri ad Aaronne, tuo fratello, e a’ suoi figliuoli, per esercitarmi il sacerdozio.

5 E prendano di quell’oro, di quel violato, porpora, scarlatto, e fin lino;
