That the priests' garments are called here clothes of service, v. 1 . It is said of those that are arrayed in white robes that they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple, Rev. vii. The Son of man himself came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. The like is not in any of the foregoing accounts, as if in these, more than any other of the appurtenances of the tabernacle, they had a particular regard to the divine appointment, both for warrant and for direction. It is an intimation to all the Lord's ministers to make the word of God their rule in all their ministrations, and to act in observance of and obedience to the command of God.
True believers are spiritual priests.
The Tabernacle Completed. According to all that the L ORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work. The builders of the tabernacle made very good despatch. It was not much more than five months from the beginning to the finishing of it. Though there was a great deal of fine work about it, such as is usually the work of time, embroidering and engraving, not only in gold, but in precious stones, yet they went through with it in a little time.
