Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Exodus 28:2

Garments to be used only in holy ministrations, for glory and for beauty, i.e. such as are glorious and beautiful; partly to mind the people of the dignity and excellency of their office and employment; and principally to represent the glorious robes wherewith Christ is both clothed himself, and clotheth all his people, who are made priests unto God.
