“And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.”
He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him. He also fastened the ephod with its skillfully woven waistband, tying it to him. The dressing of Aaron follows the prescribed order from Exodus 28 and 39: tunic first, then the sash, then the robe, then the ephod with its waistband. Moses dresses Aaron — the mediator is clothed by the one who commissioned him. The priest who will dress others in the sacred garments (Leviticus 8:13) is first dressed himself by Moses. The order of dressing communicates the order of authority: Moses acts on God's behalf in clothing the high priest for his service.
