The son who succeeds him as priest and comes to the tent of meeting to minister in the Holy Place is to wear them for seven days. The seven-day ordination wearing period for each successor high priest mirrors the seven-day ordination of Aaron and his sons. Every new high priest goes through the same seven-day process: the ordination is not a single event but a week-long formation. The seven days of wearing the garments before active ministry ensure that the new high priest is formed by the vestments before he serves in them. The garments shape the person who wears them as much as the person shapes how the garments are worn.
