Verse Explanation
Aaron and his sons were required to wear these garments whenever they entered the Tabernacle or approached the altar. This verse concludes the chapter by showing that serving God required careful obedience, reverence, and preparation. The priestly garments reminded both the priests and the people that worship was a holy responsibility entrusted to those chosen for God's service.
History
The priestly clothing remained an important part of Israel's worship throughout the Tabernacle period and later in the Temple.
