Commentary

Commentary on Exodus 28:3

Theological / Devotional

Wise hearted. “An able mind” (RSV). In contrast with the modern figurative conception of the heart as the seat of the affections and emotions, the Jews thought of it as the seat of wisdom (Exodus 31:6; 35:10, 25; Job 9:4; Proverbs 11:29; etc.).

To consecrate him. Aaron was to be invested in these “garments,” as a part of the ceremony of his consecration (Exodus 29:5-9; Leviticus 8:7-13). The garments were also for Aaron’s “sons” as his successors in the office of high priest.
