Put the turban on his head and attach the sacred emblem to the turban. The turban is placed last — the head covering that completes the vestment. The sacred emblem — the gold plate engraved holy to the Lord — is attached to the turban as the final element of Aaron's dressing. The completion of the dressing with the holy to the Lord plate is the completion of the declaration: Aaron is now entirely in the garment of his office, with the declaration of complete consecration on his forehead. The priest who enters God's presence for the first time carries the declaration of his consecration as the last thing put on and the most visible thing about him.
