Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 28:41

The Donning of the Priestly Garments (Exodus 28:41 ). This donning is deliberately described before the description of the linen breeches. The latter were not to be seen as priestly garments, but as a necessity by what they achieved. Exodus 28:41 “And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and you shall anoint them, and consecrate them (literally ‘fill their hand’), and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.” The uniqueness of Moses is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 28:42-43

The Linen Breeches To Cover Their Nakedness (Exodus 28:42-43 ). These are very pointedly not put on them by Moses. They are not a part of the official garb as such, although a requirement of the office. For these act to cover the private parts (like underpants). To ‘reveal a person’s nakedness’ was usually to expose their private parts in sexual relations (Leviticus 18:6-19; Leviticus 20:11-21). Exodus 28:42-43 “And you shall make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 28:1-43

Exodus 28. P ( Exodus 28:26-Hosea :; Exodus 28:41 later). Priestly Vestments.— After the sanctuary and its fittings have been ordered, the vestments for the priesthood come up for mention. For the strange story of the development of the priest-hood in Israel, see pp. 106f. Here we find, no doubt, a simple assumption that Aaron and his sons wore the same vestments as were worn by the Zadokite High Priest and his assistants in the Temple of Zerub- babel. Sir_45:9-22 ; Sir_50:1-21 are a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 28:2

Garments to be used only in holy ministrations, for glory and for beauty, i.e. such as are glorious and beautiful; partly to mind the people of the dignity and excellency of their office and employment; and principally to represent the glorious robes wherewith Christ is both clothed himself, and clotheth all his people, who are made priests unto God. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 28:3

All that are wise-hearted, i.e. skilful artists. The Hebrews make the heart, not the brain, the seat of wisdom See Job 9:4. Whom I have filled; either, 1. By my ordinary providence and assistance, giving them both ability and opportunity to learn the arts; or rather, 2. By extraordinary inspiration, which was necessary for the Israelites, whose base and laborious drudgery took off their minds and hands from all ingenious studies and arts. To consecrate him, i.e. to be an outward sign of my... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 28:4

An ephod was a short upper garment, made without sleeves, which was girt about the body. And it was twofold; the one made of fine linen, which was common not only to all the priests, as 1 Samuel 2:18; 1 Samuel 22:18; but to some others also upon solemn and sacred occasions, as 2 Samuel 6:14; the other made of divers stuffs and colours, peculiar to the high priest; the parts whereof were not sewed, but tied together. A robe; an upper garment like a surplice. A broidered coat; an under coat... read more

The two shoulder-pieces were two parts of the ephod going up from the body of the ephod, the one before, the other behind, which when the priest had put over his head, were tied together, and covered the priest’s shoulders, and part of his back and breast. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 28:8

The girdle of the ephod was for the closer fastening and girding of it. Which is upon it: this is added to distinguish it from the other girdle, Exodus 28:4, which was to gird all the garments, and was tied in a lower place. Of the same; either, 1. Of the same piece; or rather, 2. Of the same kind of materials and workmanship, as the following words explain it. read more
