Context of Exodus 28:41

39Use good linen to make the long shirt and the hat for the priest. A worker with special skills must make the long belt, so that it looks beautiful. 40Make shirts, belts and hats for Aaron's sons. These clothes must be beautiful to give them honour. Dress your brother Aaron and his sons with these clothes. Then pour oil on their heads to show that they have my authority. Make them separate from the other Israelites as my holy servants. They will serve me as my priests. 42Use good linen to make trousers that will cover the lower parts of their bodies. 43Aaron and his sons must wear them when they go into the Tent of Meeting. They must also wear them when they go near to the altar to serve me in the Holy Place. Then they will not be guilty. I will not punish them with death. This will always be a rule for Aaron and his descendants.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-43These holy garments for Aaron were to distinguish him as a priest set apart (Hebrew qadash, “consecrated”) for the Lord's service (28:2, 3). The beauty of these garments matched the beauty of the Tent of Meeting, which was God's portable earthly palace (or tabernacle). One day, Jesus Christ, the true High Priest, would enter the Most Holy Place once for all. Then the difference between priests and people would disappear (Hebrews 10:11–22).
