Exodus 28:32 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 28:32

And there shall be a hole in the top of it, in the midst
thereof
At the neck of it, for the high priest to put his head through when he put it on:

it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it;
a large hem or selvage, perhaps of the same kind of woven stuff the robe itself was made of, and this was done to strengthen it:

as it were the hole of an habergeon;
a corslet or coat of mail;

that it be not rent;
when the high priest put it on; or through the weight of the ephod and the ouches of gold on the shoulder pieces of it, and the breastplate hanging down from thence; this may denote the strength and duration of Christ's righteousness, which is an everlasting one.

Exodus 28:32 In-Context

31 And thou shalt make the tunic of the ephod all of violet,

32 In the midst whereof above shall be a hole for the head, and a border round about it woven, as is wont to be made in the outmost parts of garments, that it may not easily be broken.

33 And beneath at the feet of the same tunic, round about, thou shalt make as it were pomegranates, of violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with little bells set between:

34 So that there shall be a golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
