But first a word from this sponsor. We 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: start out with the priestly garments Chapter twenty eight. Have Arin, 10 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: your brother brought to you among the Israelites, along with 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: his sons Nadab and Abie, who Elizar and Ethamar, so 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: that they may serve me as priests. Make sacred garments 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: for your brother Erin to give him dignity on honor. 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given 15 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: wisdom in such matters, that they are to make garments 16 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: for Aarin for his consecrations, so that he may serve 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: me as priest. These are the garments they are to make, 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: a breast piece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: a turban, and a sash. They are to make these 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so 21 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: that they may serve me as priests have them. Use 22 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: gold and blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen. 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: So we're going to make some things for Aaron to 24 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: wear that he can have dignity, so he's going to 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: look like a high priest. One of the things I 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: didn't say last time when we were talking about the 27 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: tabernacle blue, purple, and scarlet. These would be more expensive dyes, 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: especially purple. The Phoenicians actually get their name from a 29 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: purple dye that comes from sea snails, and this is 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: so expensive that it's really reserved as a royal color, 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: or in this case a priestly color. The ephod. Make 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: the ephod of gold and of blue, purple and silver 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: yarn and a finely twisted linen, the work of skilled hands. 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two 35 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: of its corners so it can be fastened. Its skillfully 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: woven waistband is to be like it, of one piece 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: with the ephod and made of gold and with purple, 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: blue and scarlet yarn, and with finally twisted linen. Take 39 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: two onyx stones engrave on them. The name of the 40 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: sons of Israel in the order of their birth, six 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. 42 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. 44 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: Then mount the stones in gold philigree settings and fasten 45 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: them onto the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: the names on his shoulders as a memorial before the Lord. 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: Make gold filigree settings and two braided chains of pure 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: gold like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings. 50 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: So Erin is to wear this garment here at epod. 51 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: It is really just a robe that is a special 52 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: robe here, but it has these two stones on one 53 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: oner eather shoulder with each with the names of six 54 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: tribes of Israel or six of the Suns. And you 55 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: inscribe it like you would do a seal. That is 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: a seal that you would use with sealing wax, not 57 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: the pinniped that we're talking about there. And so we're 58 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: gonna make this fancy garment for Aaron. And then the 59 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 1: breast piece fashion a breastpiece for making decisions. The work 60 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: of skilled hands. Make it like the epot of gold, 61 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finally 62 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: twisted linen. It is to be square, a span long 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: and a span wide, and folded double. Then mount four 64 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: rows of precious stones on it. The first four shall 65 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: be Carnelian, chrysolite, and beryl. The second row shall be turquoise, lapis, 66 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: lazuli an emerald. The third row shall be jacinth agate 67 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: and amethyst. The fourth row show be topaz onyx and jasper. 68 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Mount them in gold filigree settings. There are to be 69 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: twelve stones, one for each of the names of the 70 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the 71 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: name of one of the twelve tribes. From the breast piece, 72 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: make braided chains of pure gold like a rope. Make 73 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: two gold rings for it, and fasten them to two 74 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: corners of the breast piece. Fasten the two gold chains 75 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: to the rings at the corners of the breast piece, 76 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: and the other ends of the chains to the two settings. 77 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Attach them to the shoulder pieces at the ethod at 78 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: the front. Make two gold rings and attach them to 79 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: the other two corners of the breastpiece. On the inside 80 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: edge next to the ephod. Make two more gold rings 81 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces 82 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: on the front of the epod, close to the seam 83 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: just above the waist band of the ephod. The rings 84 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 1: of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings 85 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: of the epod with blue cords connecting to it at 86 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 1: the waistband, so that the breast piece will not swing 87 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: out from the e Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, 88 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: he will bear the aims of the Sons of Israel 89 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: over his heart on the breast piece of decision as 90 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: continuing memorial before the Lord. Also put the Urim and 91 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: Thunim in the breast piece so that they may be 92 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: over Aaron's heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. 93 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: Thus Erin will bear the means of making decisions for 94 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: the Israelites over his heart before the Lord. Okay, so 95 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: he's got this over garment that is over his heart. 96 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: It's again got precious stones. It's got the names of 97 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: the twelve tribes on it. So he's got them over 98 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: his heart. As he comes into the holiest of holies 99 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: again once a year in the date of atonement, and 100 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: then He's also going to have the urum and the Thunim, 101 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: which we haven't talked about. But these are basically something 102 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: like dice that will be used for making decisions. So 103 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: you basically throw them down and based on what they say, 104 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: you get a answer from God and the ideas that 105 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: he's carrying these as well as he goes in. We 106 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: don't really have a description of what they look like, 107 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: but we know their purpose. Their purpose is to determine 108 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the will of God. I assume you throw them, and 109 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: therefore you can tell, for instance, what the answer is, 110 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: and they'll use it later on in this book, but 111 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: we don't really get a good description of it. Other 112 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: priestly garments make the robe of the epot entirely a 113 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: blue cloth with an opening for the head in its center. 114 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: There will be a woven edge like a collar around 115 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: this opening so that it will not tear. Make pomegranates 116 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: a blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of 117 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the robe, with gold bells between them. The gold bells 118 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: and pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe. 119 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of 120 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: the bells will be heard when he enters the holy 121 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: place before the Lord, and when he comes out, so 122 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: that he will not die, make a plate of pure 123 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: gold and engrave on it as on a seal holy 124 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: to the Lord. Fasten a blue cord to it, and 125 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: attach it to the turban. It is to be on 126 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: the front of the turban. It will be on Erin's forehead, 127 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred 128 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: gifts the Israelites consecrate. Whatever their gifts may be, it 129 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: will be on Erin's forehead continually, so that they will 130 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: be acceptable to the Lord. We have the tunic of 131 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: fine linen, and make the turban of fine linen. The 132 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: sash is to be the work of an embroiderer. Make tunics, sashes, 133 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: and caps for Aaron's sons, to give them dignity and honor. 134 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: After you put these clothes on your brother, Aaron and 135 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: his sons, annoint and ordain them, consecrate them so that 136 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: they may serve me as priests. Make linen undergarments as 137 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to 138 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: the thigh. Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever 139 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: they enter the tent of Meaning or approach the altar 140 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: to minister in the holy place so that they will 141 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: not incur guilt and die. This is to be a 142 00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: lasting ordinance for Arin and his descendants. One interesting thing 143 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: here is we're getting these description of what to put 144 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: on it put on a pomegran that's put on a 145 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: bell's we understand why the bells are there to alert 146 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: your presence so that you don't die. That seems like 147 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: a good thing. We don't know why palmegrant it's. It 148 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: doesn't say there was a artistic choice on the behalf 149 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: of God. I do not know, but that's the instruction. 150 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to leave the next chapter, the Consecration of 151 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: the Priests, till next week because it's a longer chapter here. 152 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: But basically, Erin has special garments. The priests have special 153 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: garments because they have this special role. And remember that 154 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: one twelfth of the people, the people of Erin, will 155 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: have this role in perpetuity. Is the plan here as 156 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: they stand at Mount Sinai that this is to be 157 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: the priests. They're not going to have a portion in 158 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: terms of a land that they're going to be given 159 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: like the others, but instead they're going to have levite 160 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: cities and they're going to be the sons of Levite 161 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: there of God and special role and special garments. With that, 162 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: we're going to end this episode of the Bible Study Podcast. 163 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: If you have any questions, send an email to Chris 164 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: two x at gmail dot com, or, better yet, leave 165 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: a comment on this episode at thebiblestudypodcast dot com.
