“And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.”
These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests. The six priestly garments for the high priest are listed: breastpiece, ephod, robe, tunic, turban, and sash. Four of these are also made for Aaron's sons (without the breastpiece and ephod — those are specifically the high priest's). The complete vestment — six garments for the high priest — covers the entire person from head (turban) to waist (sash) to body (tunic, robe, ephod) to chest (breastpiece). The priest enters the holy place fully clothed in the garments of his office, every part of his person covered in the dignity and honor of priestly service.
