Exode 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).

Exode 28:3 In-Context

1 Fais aussi approcher de toi, d'entre les enfants d'Israël, Aaron ton frère, avec ses fils, pour exercer devant moi la sacrificature: Aaron, Nadab et Abihu, Éléazar et Ithamar, fils d'Aaron.
2 Et tu feras à Aaron, ton frère, des vêtements sacrés, pour sa gloire et pour son ornement.
3 Et tu parleras à tous ceux qui sont intelligents, que j'ai remplis d'un esprit de sagesse, et ils feront les vêtements d'Aaron pour le consacrer, pour qu'il exerce la sacrificature devant moi.
4 Et voici les vêtements qu'ils feront: Le pectoral, l'éphod, la robe, la tunique brodée, la tiare et la ceinture. Ils feront donc des vêtements sacrés à Aaron, ton frère, et à ses fils, pour qu'ils exercent devant moi la sacrificature.
5 Et ils prendront de l'or, de la pourpre, de l'écarlate, du cramoisi et du fin lin.
