Exodus 29:5 - Exposition
Thou shalt take the garments . The directions, as here given, are incomplete, and not quite in the right order. In the LXX . they are still more incomplete. For the full process of investiture, we mast look to Le Exodus 8:7-9 . There we find that the process included nine acts.—
1 . The putting on of the linen tunic.
2 . The girding with the under-girdle.
3 . The putting on of the robe of the ephod.
4 . The putting on of the ephod.
5 . The girding with the curious girdle of the ephod.
6 . The putting on of the breast-plate.
7 . The putting into the breast-plate of the Urim and Thummim.
8 . The putting on of the mitre.
9 . The affixing to the mitre of the golden plate.
The second and seventh are omitted here; and the order of the fifth and sixth is inverted.
