Exodus 28:1
Excerpted from: The Priesthood of God (Part 4)Let me back off just a bit what we just went through there in the early chapters of Exodus, was setting the arrangement of Moses' and Aaron's relationship to God and to Pharaoh. And now here they are out in the wilderness. What God is going to do is begin to fill the offices beneath those two men. Exodus 28:1 shows that Moses is to take Aaron and Aaron's sons and begin to do something with them.
This takes place when Israel is free from their bondage to Egypt. Moses is already clearly established as God's prophet, and the tabernacle is under construction.
So God is now filling in offices under Moses. This was done to enable Israel to be organized toward meeting their responsibility to be a holy nation. God did not have intermediaries there. What did they have to see? Where would they get instruction from?
So the intermediaries between God and the people were the priests. They are the bridge, giving instruction and showing an example. He appointed—God did—Aaron as high priest and Aaron's sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, as priests. One of those sons would follow Aaron as high priest, when Aaron died.
Exodus 28:1-2
Excerpted from: The Priesthood of God (Part 6)So this clothing was in no way a minor consideration to God. Thus, some of the beauty of holiness that Psalm 29 is referring to is what was apprehended, what was understood, and what was viewed by the people who were watching the service.
Exodus 28:1-4
Excerpted from: The Priesthood of God (Part 6)You get the inference from that last line: "that he may minister to Me." It is saying that if he did not have the clothing on, he could not minister before Him.
