Context of Exodus 28:41

39You are to weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen, and make the sash the work of an embroiderer. 40“For Aaron’s sons you are to make tunics, sashes, and headbands for glory and for beauty. “You are to clothe them – your brother Aaron and his sons with him – and anoint them and ordain them and set them apart as holy, so that they may minister as my priests. 42Make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked bodies; they must cover from the waist to the thighs. 43These must be on Aaron and his sons when they enter to the tent of meeting, or when they approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they bear no iniquity and die. It is to be a perpetual ordinance for him and for his descendants after him.
