Exodus 28: The Priests’ Vestments: For Glory and Beauty

The Rev. David Duke, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Newfane, NY and adjunct professor of Old Testament at Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catherines, ON, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Exodus 28.

With the tabernacle’s design established, God’s instructions now focus on the adornment of the priests. Aaron and his sons are appointed as priests and this chapter details the intricate and ornate ceremonial garments they are to wear. Why is God so concerned with having men set apart for priesthood and why are their vestments so intricate? For glory and beauty!

It’s the true story of God reaching down into history and, through an unlikely prophet, redeeming his chosen people from slavery. It’s the story of Exodus, but it’s also the story of us all. How through Christ, God has liberated us from sin, death, and the Devil. Don’t miss this chapter-by-chapter study of the Book of Exodus on Thy Strong Word.
