Fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.⁶Put the turban on his head and attach the holy diadem to the turban.⁷Then take the anointing oil and anoint him by pouring it on his head.

Summary

In this verse, God instructs Moses to prepare Aaron and his sons for the priesthood by washing them with water. This act symbolizes purification and consecration for their sacred duties in serving God. The washing represents a cleansing of sin and a separation from the world to be set apart for God's service. It foreshadows the spiritual cleansing and sanctification that believers experience through Christ, who washes away our sins and makes us holy for God's work.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

And thou shall put the mitre upon his head,.... Which was made of linen, and was a wrap of linen about his head in the form of a turban: and put the holy crown upon the mitre; the holy crown was a plate of gold which had these words, "holiness to the Lord", engraven on it; and so says the Targum of Jonathan,"on which the holy name was engraven;''the mitre was upon the top of his head, this in the forefront of that; it was upon Aaron's forehead, and reached from ear to ear, and was fastened behind with a blue lace; this was like a crown or a diadem, and denotes the honour and dignity of the priestly office: Christ is a priest on his throne, and his saints are a royal priesthood, even kings as well as priests unto God.
