"You shall make coats for Aaron`s sons, and you shall make sashes for them and headbands shall you make for them, for glory and for beauty.

Verse Takeaways

1

Dignity in Simplicity

Commentators note that the garments for Aaron's sons—a simple white tunic, girdle, and cap—were less elaborate than the high priest's. Yet, they were still designated 'for glory and for beauty.' This shows that God bestows honor and dignity on all His appointed servants, not just the most prominent ones. Their role, though different, was also sacred and set apart.
