Ex. 28:2 for glory and for beauty. Like the tabernacle and its furniture, Aaron’s garments are made with precious materials and vivid colors, representing the glory of the Lord (see illustration).

Ex. 28:9–30 The priests’ work of mediation goes in two directions: from God to Israel and from Israel to God. two onyx stones. Similar stones will decorate the new Jerusalem (Rev. 21:12–21).

Ex. 28:30 The exact nature of the Urim and the Thummim is not clear (see note on 1 Sam. 14:41–42). It does seem, however, that they were used to seek the Lord’s direction on particular matters (see Num. 27:21; 1 Sam. 28:6; Ezra 2:63).

Ex. 28:35 its sound shall be heard . . . so that he does not die. The Lord did not need to be alerted to Aaron’s presence by the sound of bells, but they were a way of showing reverence. Approaching God carelessly can lead to death (see 19:21–25).

Ex. 28:36–38 For an illustration of the turban and the plate, see p. 138.

Ex. 28:42–43 Aaron and his sons wear linen undergarments (v. 42) so that they will not bear guilt and die (v. 43). This relates to the rule in 20:26 about not approaching God’s altar naked. Adam and Eve had to wear clothes in God’s presence after the fall. So must the priests in the tabernacle.
