Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 28:1

(See the "The New Priests And Their Garments" section of the Chapter Comments for an introduction to this chapter.) Exodus 28:1 “And bring near to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.” The choice was wise. Moses was unavailable, for he had a nation to lead through the wilderness and could not give his time to the office of ‘the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 28:1-43

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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 28:1-15

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 28:5. And they (the workmen) shall take] = Vehem yikchuh. These words imply that the workmen received all the costly materials for the priestly robes directly from the people. Thus those filled with the “spirit of wisdom” (Exodus 28:3) were eminently trustworthy as men of God, and as such possessed the unlimited confidence of the people. Exodus 28:15. The breast-plate] = Choshen was of the same “cunning work,” mââsey chosheb, as the ephod, and of like costly materials;... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Exodus 28:1

Aaron Type of Christ, our High Priest. Christ is a priest after the order of Melchizedek, but He executes his priestly office after the pattern of Aaron. Hebrews 7:0. gives the order; Heb. 9., the pattern. (See Scofield "Hebrews 7:0- :") . 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Exodus 28:1

Exodus 28:1The priest’s office.Interpretation of the priesthoodThe Hebrew priesthood was instituted because the people were not qualified to draw near to God in person. By virtue of their election, the people of Jehovah were entitled to dwell in His habitation, but their consciousness of sin made them afraid of Him: therefore, in condescension to their inability to understand the greatness of His love, He provided a class of persons who, as the representatives of His elect, might in their stead... read more
