Priestly garments and consecration
God's ways are weird. Its a mystery. I need to reflect more on this stuff. God gave specific instructions to Moses about the garments the priests were to wear. One thing that made me think was that the ephod was to be of "one piece" (28:8). Jesus' garment that they cast lots for was woven in one piece (John19:23). Its interesting that the breastpiece and the Urim and Thummim were used to make decisions. Weird. What's with the pomegranates? I understand that the bells were there so that people could hear if the highpriest was still moving around in the Holy of Holies. If the bells were not ringing then they could have died. Why did God insist that they did not put yeast in their bread. Another thought: it is fascinating to me that the priests were to EAT the meat that was cooked. Made me think of communion and how we partake of the body of Christ. They were to eat ALL of it.
