Esodo 28:3

3 Parlerai a tutti gli uomini intelligenti, i quali io ho ripieni di spirito di sapienza, ed essi faranno i paramenti d’Aaronne per consacrarlo, onde mi eserciti l’ufficio di sacerdote.

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, di tra i figliuoli d’Israele, Aaronne tuo fratello e i suoi figliuoli con lui perché mi esercitino l’ufficio di sacerdoti: Aaronne, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar e Ithamar, figliuoli d’Aaronne.

2 E farai ad Aaronne, tuo fratello, dei paramenti sacri, come insegne della loro dignità e come ornamento.

3 Parlerai a tutti gli uomini intelligenti, i quali io ho ripieni di spirito di sapienza, ed essi faranno i paramenti d’Aaronne per consacrarlo, onde mi eserciti l’ufficio di sacerdote.

4 E questi sono i paramenti che faranno: un pettorale, un efod, un manto, una tunica lavorata a maglia, una mitra e una cintura. Faranno dunque de’ paramenti sacri per Aaronne tuo fratello e per i suoi figliuoli, affinché mi esercitino l’ufficio di sacerdoti;

5 e si serviranno d’oro, di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto, e di lino fino.
