Summary

In this verse, God instructs Moses to make a robe for the high priest Aaron, woven entirely of blue cloth. The significance of the color blue symbolizes heavenly or spiritual matters, highlighting the priestly role of Aaron as a mediator between God and the people. This robe served as a reminder of the high priest's sacred duties and his representation of the Israelites before God. The attention to detail in the design of the priestly garments reflects the importance of reverence and holiness in approaching the presence of God.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And thou shalt put two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings,.... This expresses both how many chains were to be made, which is not before said, and the use of them, or where they were to be put, as well as the use of the rings: which are on the ends of the breastplate; the two uppermost ends or corners of it.
