Weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer. The tunic and turban are fine linen — the innermost garment and the head covering are the most modest elements of the priestly vestment. The sash that secures the tunic around the priest's waist is embroidered work — decorated with skill. The combined effect of the six garments: from the linen tunic closest to the body, to the blue robe, to the ephod with its golden breastpiece, to the gold plate on the linen turban — the priest is clothed from inside out in layers of increasing splendor. The inner garments are modest; the outer garments declare the dignity of the office. The priest who enters God's presence is covered at every layer.
