I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Exodus 28-29.

    I really struggle with what lessons we can take from the descriptions of the clothing God instructed to be made for Aaron and his sons. Perhaps the biggest lesson is the complexity of the ordination process for priests and how Jesus’ death and resurrection accomplished the same purpose. What I found interesting is that the directions were very explicit for the outermost garments, and progressively less explicit as you move inward so that all that is said about the innermost undergarments is that they should cover from their hips to their thighs. In addition, this passage contains detailed instructions regarding the ordination ceremony, which would encompass multiple sacrifices performed over seven days of time.
