  • Join #theScriptureRevival as we delve into the intricate symbolism and craftsmanship of the priestly garments described in #Exodus28 :1-14. This visual Bible study offers a close-up look at the materials, colors, and significance of each piece, enhancing your understanding of the sacred role of the Israelite priests.
    God instructs #Moses to appoint (Hebrew: qara) his brother #Aaron and his sons to be #priests (#priesthood) to serve Him. He prescribes specific garments (#garments) they are to wear for their ministry (#ministry).
    The focus of this passage is the ephod (#ephod), an elaborate vest-like garment. Here's a detailed breakdown:
    Materials: It is to be skillfully woven from gold, blue, purple, and scarlet threads, and fine linen (#gold, #blue, #purple, #scarlet, #linen).
    Construction: Two woven straps attach to the shoulders, and a woven sash secures it around the waist (#straps, #sash).
    Onyx Stones: Two onyx stones, set in gold settings, are placed on the shoulder straps. The names of the twelve tribes of Israel (#twelve tribes) are engraved on these stones, with six names on each stone, according to their birth order (#birth order).
    Significance: The ephod symbolizes the high priest's (#high priest) role as a representative (#representative) of the entire nation of Israel before God. By bearing their names on his shoulders, he carries their burdens (#burdens) and intercedes (#intercedes) for them.
    The passage concludes with instructions for attaching #goldchains to the #onyxstones and securing them to the shoulder straps. This ensures the ephod stays in place and the names of the tribes are prominently displayed.
