Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Exodus 28:1

CONTENTS

In the prosecution of the same important subject, the Lord gives Moses direction in this Chapter for the priests. Having prepared the hallowed spot for his worship, he here appoints the servants who are to minister in it before him. Aaron's dress, as the high-priest, is particularly described; and that of his sons in the priesthood is also mentioned.

Exodus 28:1

The Holy Ghost hath taught us to consider this appointment of Aaron to the priesthood as the special call of God. And the inference from it is also made: Hebrews 5:4. And if the Lord Jesus did not assume this office uncalled, so neither do his servants. Matthew 10:1; Acts 13:4; Acts 13:4. But what an awful scripture is that of persons not commissioned, Jeremiah 23:21. Dearest Jesus! be thou our high priest, seeing thou ever livest to make intercession for sinners. And for thy ministering servants acting under thy great name, let that promise be fulfilled in their appointment. Jeremiah 3:15.
