Exodus 28 deals with the garment that priests should wear to perform sacred services in the tabernacle. Below are five verses related to topics covered in the chapter, excluding Exodus 28 verses:
Leviticus 8:13: "He also brought Aaron closer and his children and washed them with water." This verse describes the preparation of priests for the sacred service, which included washing. This relates to Exodus 28, which speaks of priestly garment, an important part of the preparation for the service.
Leviticus 10:10: "To make a difference between the saint and the profane and between the unclean and the pure." This verse talks about the distinction between the sacred and the profane, the pure and the unclean. This relates to Exodus 28, which speaks of priestly garment as a form of sanctification and separation of sacred service.
Isaiah 61:10: "I rejoice in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God; for he dressed in garments of salvation, covered me with the mantle of justice." This verse talks about the joy of God's people for being dressed in garments of salvation and justice. This relates to Exodus 28, which speaks of priestly garment as a symbol of justice and salvation.
Hebrews 4:14: "Having therefore a great high priest who has penetrated the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, we firmly cling to the confession of our hope." This verse talks about Jesus as a high priest who intercedes for us. This relates to Exodus 28, which speaks of the priestly garment as a form of representation of the high priest who intercedes for Israel.
Revelation 1:6: "And made us kings and priests to God and His Father; Glory and power forever and power. Amen." This verse talks about the identity of God's people as kings and priests. This relates to Exodus 28, which speaks of priestly garment as a form of priestly identity and as a means of approaching God.
