SEV Biblia, Chapter 28:4
Los vestidos que harán serán estos: el pectoral, el efod, el manto, la túnica bordada, la mitra, y el cinturón. Hagan, pues, los santos vestidos a Aarón tu hermano, y a sus hijos, para que sean mis sacerdotes.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 28:4
Verse 4. Breastplate] j choshen. See on "chap. xxv. 7". Ephod] dpa . See the note on "chap. xxv. 7".
Robe] ly[m meil, from hl[ alah, to go up, go upon; hence the meil may be considered as an upper coat, a surtout. It is described by Josephus as a garment that reaches down to the feet, not made of two distinct pieces, but was one entire long garment, woven throughout. This was immediately under the ephod. See on "ver. 31", &c.
Broidered coat] Åbt tntk kethoneth, tashbets, what Parkhurst translates a close, strait coat or garment; according to Josephus, "a tunic circumscribing or closely encompassing the body, and having tight sleeves for the arms." This was immediately under the meil or robe, and answered the same purpose to the priests that our shirts do to us. See on "ver. 13".
Mitre] tpnxm mitsnepheth. As this word comes from the root Pnx tsanaph, to roll or wrap round, it evidently means that covering of the head so universal in the eastern countries which we call turban or turband, corrupted from the Persian doolbend, which signifies what encompasses and binds the head or body; and hence is applied, not only to this covering of the head, but to a sash in general. As the Persian word is compounded of dool, or dawal, a revolution, vicissitude, wheel, &c., and binden, to bind; it is very likely that the Hebrew words rwd dur, to go round, and fnb benet, a band, may have been the original of doolbend and turband. It is sometimes called [Persiac] serbend, from ser, the head, and binden, to bind. The turban consists generally of two parts: the cap, which goes on the head; and the long sash of muslin, linen, or silk, that is wrapped round the head. These sashes are generally several yards in length.
A girdle] fnba abnet, a belt or girdle; see before. This seems to have been the same kind of sash or girdle, so common in the eastern countries, that confined the loose garments about the waist; and in which their long skirts were tucked up when they were employed in work, or on a journey.
After being tied round the waist, the two ends of it fell down before, to the skirts of their robes.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Hitherto the heads of families were the priests, and offere sacrifices; but now this office was confined to the family of Aaro only; and so continued till the gospel dispensation. The holy garment not only distinguished the priests from the people, but were emblems of that holy conduct which should ever be the glory and beauty, the mar of the ministers of religion, without which their persons an ministrations will be had in contempt. They also typified the glory of the Divine majesty, and the beauty of complete holiness, which rendere Jesus Christ the great High Priest. But our adorning under the gospel is not to be of gold and costly array, but the garments of salvation the robe of righteousness.
