SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:2

Y harás vestidos santos para Aarón tu hermano, para honra y hermosura.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 28:2

Verse 2. For
glory and for beauty.] Four articles of dress were prescribed for the priests in ordinary, and four more for the high-priest.

Those for the priests in general were a coat, drawers, a girdle, and a bonnet.

Besides these the high-priest had a robe, an ephod, a breastplate, and a plate or diadem of gold on his forehead. The garments, says the sacred historian, were for honour and for beauty. They were emblematical of the office in which they ministered. 1. It was honourable. They were the ministers of the Most High, and employed by him in transacting the most important concerns between God and his people, concerns in which all the attributes of the Divine Being were interested, as well as those which referred to the present and eternal happiness of his creatures. 2. They were for beauty. They were emblematical of that holiness and purity which ever characterize the Divine nature and the worship which is worthy of him, and which are essentially necessary to all those who wish to serve him in the beauty of holiness here below, and without which none can ever see his face in the realms of glory. Should not the garments of all those who minister in holy things still be emblematical of the things in which they minister? Should they not be for glory and beauty, expressive of the dignity of the Gospel ministry, and that beauty of holiness without which none can see the Lord? As the high-priest's vestments, under the law, were emblematical of what was to come, should not the vestments of the ministers of the Gospel bear some resemblance of what is come? Is then the dismal black, now worn by almost all kinds of priests and ministers, for glory and for beauty? Is it emblematical of any thing that is good, glorious, or excellent? How unbecoming the glad tidings announced by Christian ministers is a colour emblematical of nothing but mourning and wo, sin, desolation, and death! How inconsistent the habit and office of these men! Should it be said, "These are only shadows, and are useless because the substance is come." I ask, Why then is black almost universally worn? why is a particular colour preferred, if there be no signification in any? Is there not a danger that in our zeal against shadows, we shall destroy or essentially change the substance itself? Would not the same sort of argumentation exclude water in baptism, and bread and wine in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper? The white surplice in the service of the Church is almost the only thing that remains of those ancient and becoming vestments, which God commanded to be made for glory and beauty. Clothing, emblematical of office, is of more consequence than is generally imagined. Were the great officers of the crown, and the great officers of justice, to clothe themselves like the common people when they appear in their public capacity, both their persons and their decisions would be soon held in little estimation.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-5 - Hitherto the heads of families were the priests, and offere sacrifices; but now this office was confined to the family of Aaro only; and so continued till the gospel dispensation. The holy garment not only distinguished the priests from the people, but were emblems of that holy conduct which should ever be the glory and beauty, the mar of the ministers of religion, without which their persons an ministrations will be had in contempt. They also typified the glory of the Divine majesty, and the beauty of complete holiness, which rendere Jesus Christ the great High Priest. But our adorning under the gospel is not to be of gold and costly array, but the garments of salvation the robe of righteousness.
