(The previous post covered God's instructions to Moses concerning the tabernacle. Moses and Joshua went up to the mount with God for forty days and forty nights. The next four chapters continued to present what God said during that time. What did the people do during that time?)
Exodus 28
(This chapter concerned the priesthood, specifically their garments.)
(Verses 1-2: the purpose of the garments.)
1 And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
(Aaron and his son’s were set apart for priesthood.)
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty.
(The holy garments were for glory and beauty.)
(Verses 3-4: What to make and who must make it.)
3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
(The people who made the garments were wise hearted and had been filled with the spirit of wisdom.)
4 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
(The coat of checker work was a "tunic," the mitre was a "turban," and the girdle was a "sash; waistband.")
(Verses 5-14: the ephod.)
5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.
7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends thereof, that it may be joined together.
8 And the skilfully woven band, which is upon it, wherewith to gird it on, shall be like the work thereof and of the same piece; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
(The "skillfully woven band" was a girdle of ingenious work. The KJV called this a "curious girdle.")
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be inclosed in settings of gold.
12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
(The two stones on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod represented the burden of the priesthood. These stones ought to have reminded the priests to lead the people. Isaiah 9:6 prophesied about Jesus that "the government shall be upon his shoulder.")
13 And thou shalt make settings of gold,
14 and two chains of pure gold; like cords shalt thou make them, of wreathen work: and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the settings.
(Verses 15-30: the breastplate.)
15 And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
16 Foursquare it shall be and double; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.
(The breastplate was about 9 inches square. A span was approximately 23 centimeters or 9 inches.)
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row;
18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20 and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be inclosed in gold in their settings.
21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.
(Twelve precious stones representing the twelve children of Israel were arranged on the front of the breastplate in four rows of three stones each.)
22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.
23 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
25 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart thereof.
26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which is toward the side of the ephod inward.
27 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.
28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.
30 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before Jehovah: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.
(The "Urim" and "Thummim" stones were what Joseph Smith claimed were the "seer stones" to translate the golden plates of Mormonism.)
(Verses 31-35: the robe.)
31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
32 And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not rent.
33 And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about.
35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he die not.
(The bell was so the people could hear Aaron when he was inside the holy place.)
(Verses 36-38: the turban and its engraving.)
36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH.
37 And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.
(Verse 39: the tunic, the turban, and the sash.)
39 And thou shalt weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.
(Verses 40-43: Garments for the sons of Aaron.)
40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him, and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
(Even their underwear was specified.)
43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him.
Exodus 29
(This chapter concerned the consecration of the priests.)
(Verses 1-18: the preparation for the consecration.)
(Verses 1-3: the purpose for and the ingredients needed for the ceremony.)
1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: take one young bullock and two rams without blemish,
2 and unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened mingled with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of fine wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
(Verse 4: the washing.)
4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water.
(The sacrifice was washed with water.)
(Verses 5-9: the clothing and the anointing.)
5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the skilfully woven band of the ephod;
6 and thou shalt set the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
(Aaron was anointed with oil.)
8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
9 And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and bind head-tires on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
("Head-tires" were another form of turban.)
(Verses 10-14: the sin offering.)
10 And thou shalt bring the bullock before the tent of meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock.
11 And thou shalt kill the bullock before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting.
12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger; and thou shalt pour out all the blood at the base of the altar.
13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul upon the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.
14 But the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and it dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin-offering.
(Verses 15-18: the burnt offering.)
15 Thou shalt also take the one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.
16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take its blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
17 And thou shalt cut the ram into its pieces, and wash its inwards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its head.
18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt-offering unto Jehovah; it is a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
(This sacrifice was a sweet savor to God. Remember, Noah offered a sweet savor to God after the Flood to appease His anger: Genesis 8:21. Here, the sweet savor was also meant to appease God from the sin of the priest.)
(Verses 19-46: the consecration offering.)
(Verses 19-21: the application of blood.)
19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon the head of the ram.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of its blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
(The blood of the other ram was put on Aaron's and his sons' right ears, right thumbs, and right big toes.)
21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
(Verses 22-28: the wave offering.)
22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat, and the fat tail, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),
23 and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Jehovah.
24 And thou shalt put the whole upon the hands of Aaron, and upon the hands of his sons, and shalt wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah.
25 And thou shalt take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar upon the burnt-offering, for a sweet savor before Jehovah: it is an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
(Again, the sweet savor was to appease sin. Notice, the priests went through a mini version of the process of forming a covenant.)
26 And thou shalt take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration, and wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thy portion.
("Thy portion" meant the portion for Moses.)
27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave-offering, and the thigh of the heave-offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as their portion for ever from the children of Israel; for it is a heave-offering: and it shall be a heave-offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, even their heave-offering unto Jehovah.
(Verses 29-37: the week of consecration.)
29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.
30 Seven days shall the son that is priest in his stead put them on, when he cometh into the tent of meeting to minister in the holy place.
31 And thou shalt take the ram of consecration, and boil its flesh in a holy place.
32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the tent of meeting.
(Aaron and his sons ate the ram and bread.)
33 And they shall eat those things wherewith atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.
(No stranger shall eat of this.)
34 And if aught of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
(They were to burn the remainder.)
35 And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all that I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
36 And every day shalt thou offer the bullock of sin-offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou makest atonement for it; and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
37 Seven days thou shalt make atonement for the altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
(Verses 38-41: the continual consecration.)
38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.
39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink-offering.
41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
(Verses 42-43: the purpose for the daily sacrifices and continual consecration.)
42 It shall be a continual burnt-offering throughout your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet with you, to speak there unto thee.
(These sacrifices kept the tabernacle holy and able for God to meet with Israel.)
43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel; and the Tent shall be sanctified by my glory.
(God's Glory would be visibly present.)
(Verses 44-46: God would sanctify.)
44 And I will sanctify the tent of meeting, and the altar: Aaron also and his sons will I sanctify, to minister to me in the priest's office.
45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
46 And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them: I am Jehovah their God.
Exodus 30
(This chapter concerned the craftsmen and more tabernacle related subjects.)
(Verses 1-5: How to make the altar of incense.)
1 And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of acacia wood shalt thou make it.
2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it.
(The altar for burning incense was about 18 inches square and 36 inches high.)
3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
4 And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under the crown thereof; upon the two ribs thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make them; and they shall be for places for staves wherewith to bear it.
5 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
(Verses 6-10: the use of the altar of incense.)
6 And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet spices: every morning, when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.
9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering; and ye shall pour no drink-offering thereon.
10 And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year; with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement once in the year shall he make atonement for it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto Jehovah.
(Verses 11-12: the reason for ransom money.)
11 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to those that are numbered of them, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Jehovah, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
(The people gave an offering when they were numbered.)
(Verses 13-16: How to take a census with ransom money.)
13 This they shall give, every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to Jehovah.
14 Every one that passeth over unto them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of Jehovah.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
(A flat rate among everyone. The "temple tax" was taken from everyone who was twenty years and older. In the Gospel according to Matthew (Matthew 17:24-27), Jesus and Peter were the only ones to pay this tax because they were the only ones twenty years and older.)
16 And thou shalt take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
(Verses 17-21: the bronze/brass laver.)
17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, whereat to wash. And thou shalt put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
19 And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
20 when they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
(Verses 22-23: the holy anointing oil.)
22 Moreover Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Take thou also unto thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,
24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.
(Here was each ingredient and its Hebrew word and meaning according to Strong's Concordance:
-Myrrh - #4753 mowr - "as distilling in drops, and also as bitter"
-Cinnamon - #7076 qinnomown - "to erect"
-Calamus - #7070 qaneh - "a reed; by resemblance a rod for measuring" from #7069 qinah - "to erect, i.e. to create; by extens. to procure especially by purchase"
-Cassia - #6916 qiddah - "cassia bark as in shrivelled rolls" from #6915 qadad - "to shrivel up, to bow down the head"
-Olive - #2132 zayith - "an olive as yielding illuminating oil"
-Oil - #8081 shemen - "grease, fig. richness:-anointing, X fat (things), X fruitful" from #8080 shaman - "to shine")
(Look at the descriptions of the ingredients. This described Jesus' death on the cross. His Blood fell in drops on the ground during His bitter death, He was erected on the cross, to purchase our salvation, in an act of worship (to bow the head), and the result was a fruitful act that has shone across time.)
(Fragrances have three parts: top, middle, and bottom (base) notes. These are also called the head, heart, and body. The top notes are what you smell first and fade the quickest, a liquid that wants to evaporate into a gas. The middle is the main part of the fragrance that holds the fragrance together, a liquid. The bottom (base) is the part of the fragrance that lasts the longest, it is what is left when everything else is gone, it is a solid. A great fragrance has all three areas balanced: solids dissolved in a liquid that contains liquids that want to evaporate.)
(Myrrh was a bottom note that came from a resin. Cinnamon was actually a middle note and had the ability to repel insects. Cassia was a heavier version of cinnamon, so it was a middle (to bottom) note. The cinnamon we use today is actually cassia. Calamus was a top note. This fragrance was balanced.)
(This fragrance was used to cover the instruments and the priests inside the tabernacle. So, one of the benefits of this fragrance was that it kept flies, etc. from off of the holy instruments. This fragrance was not supposed to be put on anyone else, nor experienced in any setting outside of the tabernacle. Violating this instruction from God resulted in cutting the person off from community. God wanted the tabernacle to be the only place people experienced this fragrance.)
(The point of the fragrance was to help people get to the proper emotional level more quickly because they would associate that smell with that specific location and their emotional state. Experiencing that smell outside of that location would make the emotional bond less strong.)
25 And thou shalt make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
27 and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,
28 and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof.
(The first fragrance was applied to everything so the entire place smelled like this.)
29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
31 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
32 Upon the flesh of man shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition thereof: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
(They were not allowed to make another fragrance even like it or use it outside of the tabernacle.)
33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
(Trying to make this would result in being cut off from God's people.)
(Verses 34-38: the holy incense.)
34 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight;
(This fragrance consisted of stacte, onycha, galbanum, and frankincense. The first three ingredients were mentioned once in the entire Bible, this reference. The actual chemical represented in this fragrance is still debated. "Stacte" came from snails and shellfish. The other three were resins from plants.)
(-Stacte - #5198 nata(w)ph - "drop" from #5197 nataph - "ooze; fig. to speak by inspiration: prophesy"
-Onycha - #7827 shecheleth - "peeling off by concussion of sound" from #7826 shachal - "to roar; a lion"
-Galbanum - #2468 Chuldah - "an Israelitess" from #2465 cheled - "to glide swiftly; life (as a fleeting portion of time); hence the world (as transient)"
-Frankincense - #3828 lebonah - "incense" from #3836 laben - "white" from #3835 laban - "to become white")
(First of all, all four ingredients were bottom (base) notes. This fragrance could last for thousands of years. Second, it was beaten small and put before the testimony in the tabernacle. Third, there is some debate over what plant galbanum came from and whether it is currently extinct. These directions would have been followed for the temple in Jerusalem, which was the one that needs to be rebuilt to fulfill prophecy. This fragrance may lead to objective proof of the location of the temple. If they find this combination of four ingredients in a small spot, especially if one of the ingredients is impossible to get today, they will know exactly where the temple was located.)
(Finally, look at the imagery of going before God in the tabernacle: God is going to speak to us (prophesy) and (with His Word) peel off the effects of this transient world so that we are clean (white). Jesus was the Lion of Judah, He was the Prophet, He made us clean, all in a very short time on this earth.)
35 and thou shalt make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:
36 and thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
(This fragrance was put in the ground of the tabernacle, objectively marking the location of the temple. It was a solid because it consisted completely of base notes.)
37 And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the composition thereof ye shall not make for yourselves: it shall be unto thee holy for Jehovah.
(The second fragrance was also not to be made except for the Lord and with His direction.)
38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereof, he shall be cut off from his people.
(Again, trying to make this would have resulted in being cut off.)
(This post covered God's instructions to Moses concerning the dress of the priesthood, ceremonies, rites, and implements used within the tabernacle. Moses and Joshua went up to the mount with God for forty days and forty nights. The next chapter concluded what God stated during that time and then we will find out what the people did during that same forty days and forty nights...)

I love the practicality of God. He cared about the instruments by providing the wherewithal to keep the flies away! Our God is a God concerned with details. Thank you for the insites.
