Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor. The purpose of the priestly garments is stated at the outset: dignity and honor. The vestments are not merely practical clothing but statements of the office's worth. The dignity belongs to the office; the honor reflects the God whose servants the priests are. Ezekiel 28:13–14 describes the jeweled garments of the anointed cherub — the priestly garments of Exodus 28 are the human equivalent of the angelic covering that reflects divine glory. Matthew 6:29 says even Solomon in all his splendor was not dressed like the lilies — but the high priest's garments exceed even Solomon's glory in the service of the God who clothed the lilies.
