Commentary
Exodus 28 is a chapter that focuses on the garments of the priests of Israel. It begins with God instructing Moses to make special garments for Aaron, the high priest, and his sons, who will serve as priests in the Tabernacle. The garments are to be made of fine linen and gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and are to be decorated with intricate designs. The chapter then goes on to describe the various pieces of clothing that are to be made, including the ephod, the breastpiece, the robe, the tunic, the turban, and the sash.
