Exodus 28:31

The robe. This was to be worn by the high priest underneath the ephod. It was woven without a seam (Exodus 39:22; Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 351; Desire of Ages, p. 746). Against the background of this blue robe the variegated colors of the breastplate and the ephod must have stood forth in striking contrast. This robe typifies perfection of character, the “robe of righteousness” to be worn by those who have faith in Christ (Isaiah 61:10; Zechariah 3:4). As it was “woven” in one piece, and hence seamless, it further typifies the coat “without seam” that Jesus wore (John 19:23) and the unity God desires for His church (John 17:21-23; Ephesians 4:3, 5, 11-13).
