Commentary on Exodus 28:40

Theological / Devotional

For Aaron’s sons. Verses 40-43 describe the apparel of the common priest. The “girdles,” or sashes, were probably of the same material and workmanship as those of the high priest. The “bonnets” were linen turbans.

For glory, it is significant that the simple attire of the common priest, a robe of white linen, was to be “for glory and for beauty,” as well as that of the high priest (see verse 2). White is used in the Scriptures as the symbol of purity (Revelation 4:4 ; 7:9, 14; 19:8).
