Esodo 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.

Esodo 28:41 In-Context

39 Fa’ ancora la Tonica di fin lino, trapunta; fa’ parimente la Benda di fin lino; e fa’ la Cintura di lavoro di ricamatore.

40 Fa’ ancora a’ figliuoli di Aaronne, delle toniche, e delle cinture, e delle mitrie, a gloria ed ornamento.

41 E vesti di questi vestimenti Aaronne, tuo fratello, e i suoi figliuoli; e ungili, e consacrali, e santificali, acciocchè mi esercitino il sacerdozio.

42 Fa’ loro ancora delle mutande line, per coprir la carne delle vergogne; giungano quelle mutande dai lombi fino al disotto delle cosce.

43 E abbianle Aaronne ed i suoi figliuoli addosso, quando entreranno nel Tabernacolo della convenenza; ovvero, quando si accosteranno all’Altare, per fare il servigio nel luogo Santo; acciocchè non portino pena d’iniquità, e non muoiano. Questo è uno statuto perpetuo per lui, e per la sua progenie dopo lui.
