| 1 | Exodus 28:2–8 | Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor. You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest. These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests. They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen. They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened. And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen. |

Exodus 29:5 Summary
In Exodus 29:5, God instructs Moses to dress Aaron in special garments, symbolizing his role as high priest. These garments, such as the tunic and breastplate, represent the importance of ritual purity and holiness, as seen in Leviticus 16:4. Just like Aaron, we as believers are called to 'clothe' ourselves in righteousness and holiness, as described in Ephesians 4:24, and to serve God with humility and obedience, as seen in 1 Peter 5:5. By following God's instructions and putting on the 'righteousness of God' (2 Corinthians 5:21), we can be properly 'dressed' for our spiritual service to Him.
