Footnotes

  1. 3 Here Moses actually clothes Aaron (cf. v. 13 below for Aaron’s sons). Regarding the various articles of clothing see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (), and esp. J. Milgrom, Leviticus (), 1:.
  2. 4 The term “tunic” refers to a shirt-like garment worn next to the skin and, therefore, put on first (cf. Exod 28:4, 39–40; 29:5, 8; 39:27). Traditionally this has been translated “coat” (so , ), but that English word designates an outer garment.
  3. 5 Heb “on him”; the referent (Aaron) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  4. 6 Heb “girded him with the sash” (so ); “tied the cloth belt around him.” The sash fastened the tunic around the waist (Exod 28:4, 39; 29:9; 39:29).
  5. 7 The robe was a long shirt-like over-garment that reached down below the knees. Its hem was embroidered with pomegranates and golden bells around the bottom (Exod 28:4, 31–35; 29:5; 39:22–26).
  6. 8 The ephod was an apron like garment suspended from shoulder straps. It draped over the robe and extended from the chest down to the thighs (Exod 28:4, 6–14, 25–28; 29:5; 39:2–7).
  7. 9 Heb “girded him with.”
  8. 10 The decorated band of the ephod served as a sort of belt around Aaron’s body that would hold the ephod closely to him rather than allowing it to hang loosely across his front (Exod 28:8, 27; 29:5; 39:5, 20).
  9. 11 The breastpiece was made of the same material as the ephod and was attached to it by means of gold rings and chains on its four corners (Exod 28:15–30; 29:5; 39:8–21). It had twelve stones attached to it (representing the twelve tribes of Israel), and a pocket in which the Urim and Thummim were kept (see following).
  10. 12 The Urim and Thummim were two small objects used in the casting of lots to discern the will of God (see Exod 28:30; Num 27:21; Deut 33:8; 1 Sam 14:41 in the and 28:6; Ezra 2:63 and Neh 7:65). It appears that by casting them one could obtain a yes or no answer, or no answer at all (1 Sam 28:6; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [], ). See the extensive discussion in J. Milgrom, Leviticus (), 1:.
