Hi GAMErs!
Today’s passage is Exodus 39:22-43. Let’s go!
Exodus 39:22-31 (NIV)
22 They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth–the work of a weaver–
23 with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar, and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear.
24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe.
25 And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates.
26 The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen–the work of a weaver–
28 and the turban of fine linen, the linen headbands and the undergarments of finely twisted linen.
29 The sash was of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn–the work of an embroiderer–as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 They made the plate, the sacred diadem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
31 Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses.
On verses 22-31: As we saw with so many of the priestly clothes described in verses 1-21, notice that Aaron’s robe, tunic, and turban were made of fine material, done by a craftsman, and adorned with gold. It all speaks of how highly God valued the office of the priest. Since as believers in Jesus Christ, we too are priests in God’s kingdom, let it be a reminder not to take our role as priests lightly or for granted. May we approach our calling as priests with reverence and respect, and give God service that is of high quality and high value too.
