Commentary on Exodus 28:43

Theological / Devotional

Tabernacle of the congregation. See on Exodus 27:21. The priestly garments were ever to be “upon Aaron, and upon his sons,” when they engaged in the sacred services of the sanctuary, lest they become guilty of profaning that which was sacred, and so be punished with death.

The Aaronic priesthood was both representative and mediatorial. The high priest in particular represented the people before God and interceded on their behalf (Zechariah 3:3-5; Hebrews 2:17; 5:1; 8:3). He was the vital link between a holy God and an unholy people. In both respects the Aaronic priesthood typified that of Christ. This was true of the office itself (Hebrews 3:1), of His personal and official holiness (Hebrews 4:15; 7:26), of His representation of the people (Hebrews 6:19, 20), of His work of mediation and intercession (Hebrews 9:11, 12, 24), and of His heavenly glory (Hebrews 2:9).
