BRAGADAYJAH 278
Today, we see all sorts and conditions of people who claim
to be ministers of God, and sure enough we see and hear them too, making all
kinds of claims and nebulous pronouncements. Some dress like they are on the
beach, others dress like they are in the dance hall or in their living rooms; who
called them, when they were called or for what purpose, we do not know other
than what they tell us or what they call themselves; but without saying more,
we know that God called Aaron and his sons to be priests to serve the people and minister before him in
his Tabernacle.
We have
seen something of the costliness and splendor of the Tabernacle and its
fittings and fixtures, and how they were made according to God’s instructions
to Moses; so likewise the ministerial vestments were commanded by God and so
now we reminded what they were.
As for the
blue and purple and scarlet, they made cloths of service to do service in the
holy place, and made holy garments for Aaron and his sons to wear as the Lord commanded
Moses.
They made
the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet of fine-twined linen. They beat the gold into thin plates and cut
it into thin strips to work it into the blue and purple and scarlet, and in the
fine linen by skillful work. They made
shoulder pieces for it to couple it together at its two edges. The beautifully
woven girdle of the ephod was similarly made that is to say of blue, purple and
scarlet made of fine-twined linen.
They also made onyx stones enclosed in settings of gold and
engraved as signets with the names of the children of Israel ; and these were placed on the shoulders
of the ephod as a memorial unto the children of Israel . Morewww.chaberbooks.com
