SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:42
Y les harás calzoncillos de lino para cubrir la carne vergonzosa; serán desde los lomos hasta los muslos:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 28:42
Verse 42. Linen breeches] This command had in view the necessity of purity and decency in every part of the Divine worship, in opposition to the shocking indecency of the pagan worship in general, in which the priests often ministered naked, as in the sacrifices to Bacchus, &c. ON the garments of the high priest some general reflections have already been made; see ver. 2: See the note on "ver. 2". and to what is there said it may be just necessary to add, that there can be no doubt of their being all emblematical of spiritual things; but of which, and in what way, no man can positively say. Many commentators have entered largely into this subject, and have made many edifying and useful remarks; but where no clue is given to guide us through a labyrinth in which the possibility of mistake is every moment occurring, it is much better not to attempt to be wise above what is written; for however edifying the reflections may be which are made on these subjects, yet, as they are not clearly deducible from the text itself, they can give little satisfaction to a sincere inquirer after truth. These garments were all made for glory and for beauty, and this is the general account that it has pleased God to give of their nature and design: in a general sense, they represented, 1. The necessity of purity in every part of the Divine worship; 2. The necessity of an atonement for sin; 3. The purity and justice of the Divine Majesty; and, 4. The absolute necessity of that holiness without which none can see the Lord. And these subjects should be diligently kept in view by all those who wish to profit by the curious and interesting details given in this chapter. In the notes these topics are frequently introduced.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 40-43 - The priest's garments typify the righteousness of Christ. If we appea not before God in that, we shall bear our iniquity, and die. Blessed i he, therefore, that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, Re 16:15. An blessed be God that we have a High Priest, appointed of God, and se apart for his work; furnished for his high office by the glory of his Divine majesty, and the beauty of perfect holiness. Happy are we, if by the law spiritually understood, we see that such a High Priest becam us; that we cannot draw near to a holy God, or be accepted, but by him There is no light, no wisdom, no perfection, but from him; no glory, n beauty, but in being like unto him. Let us take encouragement from the power, love, and compassion of our High Priest, to draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and fin grace to help in time of need __________________________________________________________________
