What Does Exodus 29:5 Mean?
Aaron receives the foundational priestly garments: the coat (tunic), the ephod (a special vestment), and the breastplate with the curious (ornate) girdle. Each garment signals his transition to priesthood.
The garments serve both practical and symbolic purposes—they identify the wearer's role, set him apart as holy, and reflect the careful design God requires for His service.
