Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the Lord commanded Moses. The blue cord that attaches the gold plate to the turban — exactly as Exodus 28:37 specified — is the final construction element of the high priestly vestment. Blue cord, gold plate, turban: the visible declaration of complete consecration is secured by the covenant color to the head covering of the covenant's chief servant. The as the Lord commanded Moses formula appears for the seventh time in this chapter — like the seven days of creation, signaling the completion of the holy work.
