F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 28:15-30

the Breastplate and its Stones Exodus 28:15-30 The breastplate bore twelve precious stones, on each of which the name of a tribe was engraved-the smallest as well as the greatest, Benjamin as well as Judah, Simeon which faded in the desert, as well as Ephraim which occupied the center of the Promised Land. Whatever might be their sins and failures, their chastenings and penalties, nothing could remove them from that sacred place. They might even be at enmity among themselves, but still they... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 28:1-43

The account of the calling and the hallowing of the priests for the exercise of their sacred office is given in detail. The outstanding values are revealed in certain clear statements. That of the purpose of the robing of the priests is stated in the words, ". . . make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister unto Me in the priests' office." A careful study of the description of these garments will reveal very much that is important to an understanding of the divine thought... read more

The Breastpouch of Judgment (Exodus 28:13-30 ). This Breastpouch of Judgment was so-called (Exodus 28:5; Exodus 28:29-30) because it had within it the Urim and the Thummim by which decisions were reached before Yahweh. It was like a 23 centimetre (nine inch) bag, was foursquare, and also contained on it twelve semiprecious stones, in four rows of three, on which were the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. It would be attached to the ephod when Aaron was preparing to go in to the Holy Place... read more

Exodus 28. P ( Exodus 28:26-Hosea :; Exodus 28:41 later). Priestly Vestments.— After the sanctuary and its fittings have been ordered, the vestments for the priesthood come up for mention. For the strange story of the development of the priest-hood in Israel, see pp. 106f. Here we find, no doubt, a simple assumption that Aaron and his sons wore the same vestments as were worn by the Zadokite High Priest and his assistants in the Temple of Zerub- babel. Sir_45:9-22 ; Sir_50:1-21 are a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Exodus 28:22

Some think these are the same with those mentioned Exodus 28:14. But it seems improbable and without example that God should in this short description, and that within a few verses, give a new and second command concerning the same thing. It may rather seem that these are other chains fastened to the breastplate, as it follows, whereas those chains, Exodus 28:14, seem to have been fastened to the ephod, to those ouches made in it for that purpose, Exodus 28:13. And whereas these chains also are... read more

THE BREASTPLATE.—Exodus 28:15-30That the ephod and the breastplate were intended to form one whole, is evident by the chains and ribbon which connected them, but the breastplate has its peculiar teachings. It has a two-fold relation—to God and to Israel. Let us consider the suggestions of this prominent portion of the high priestly vestments.I. As towards God the breastplate conveys the idea of representation.Exodus 28:1. The righteousness of this representation. The breastplate was to be the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 28:1-43

Chapter 28Now as we get into chapter twenty-eight, we now move into the priesthood. We now have the tabernacle constructed, at least the architecture, the designs; the blue prints are drawn. Now getting to the priests,Take thou unto thee Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, [even] Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons. And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 28:1-43

Exodus 28:1. Take Aaron thy brother. Intimations had before been given of this designation; but this is the first express appointment of Aaron and his sons to the priesthood. The heads of families had hitherto officiated as priests and offered sacrifices, without any special appointment; but now this practice was retracted, and the sacerdotal office confined to the family of Aaron only. Moses not only gave proof of his disinterestedness, in leaving his own posterity in the rank of private... read more

Exodus 28:15-30The breastplate of Judgment.The breastplateA full description of the breastplate is given twice over in the Book of Exodus, and from it we may gather certain useful lessons as to the Church in all ages.I. There were twelve stones in the breastplate, each of them different, and each bearing a different name. This shows what variety there is among believers. So long as the human race differs so much in mental structure, we shall not be able to think alike, even in those things that... read more
