Exodus 39:4 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 39:1-31

In this account of the making of the priests? garments, according to the instructions given (ch. 28), we may observe, 1. That the priests? garments are called here clothes of service, Exod. 39:1. Note, Those that wear robes of honour must look upon them as clothes of service; for from those upon whom honour is put service is expected. It is said of those that are arrayed in white robes that they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, Rev. 7:13. Holy garments... read more

And he made the ephod of gold ,.... From hence to the end of verse thirty one we have a very particular account of the making of the priest's garments exactly according to the directions given to Moses; see Gill on Exodus 28:1 &c.; to end of chapter twenty eight; only it may be observed, that here in Exodus 39:3 an account is given of the manner in which they made the gold fit to be worked along with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; they beat the gold into thin plates, and then... read more

The Clothes of Service; the work perfected. I. THE PRIESTS ' GARMENTS . 1 . Their splendour. They were fashioned of gold and jewels, and blue, and purple, and scarlet. God gives glory to his servants. He makes us kings and priests unto himself. The spiritual nobleness and beauty given now are but the earnest of the glory which will be hereafter. 2 . Their purpose: they were clothes of service. The honour and comeliness which God bestows are for service to him in the midst... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 39:1-43

35:1-40:38 CONSTRUCTION OF THE TABERNACLEThis section largely repeats the instruction given on the mountain in Chapters 25-31. It emphasizes that the people had to do God’s work according to his covenant requirements. Therefore, they were to keep the Sabbath (35:1-3; cf. 31:16). If they wanted God to accept their offerings for the building of the tabernacle, they had to present those offerings in a spirit of joy and willingness (35:4-29). Though all could give offerings, only those with the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 39:1-43

The instructions which God gave (Exodus 28) were carefully followed; and the account here closely conforms to the account of the instructions. "There are no major differences between the two accounts."[1] Of course, there is the omission of any reference to the Urim and the Thummin, quickly hailed by critics as "reflecting a situation sometime after the exile",[2] but it is far better to consider this omission, as did Huey, as merely being an "abridged"[3] account of the instructions. Also,... read more

The priests’ clothing 39:1-31Moses described the preparation of the priests’ clothes at length, as is appropriate in view of their importance. [Note: See John E.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 39:1-31

XXXIX.THE MAKING OF THE HOLY GARMENTS.(1-31) This section corresponds to Exodus 28:5-40, but does not follow exactly the same order. Exodus 39:2-7 correspond to Exodus 39:5-12 of Exodus 28:0; Exodus 39:8-21 to Exodus 39:13-28; Exodus 39:22-26 to Exodus 39:31-35; but after this a dislocation occurs. Exodus 39:27-29 correspond to Exodus 39:39-42 of Exodus 28:0, and Exodus 39:30-31 to Exodus 39:36-38. It is not clear why any change was made. The order observed in Exodus 28:0 seems preferable. read more
