28:40 “For Aaron’s sons you are to make tunics, sashes, and headbands 1 for glory and for beauty.
1 sn This refers to a band of linen wrapped around the head, forming something like a brimless convex cap, resembling something like a half egg. It refers to the headgear of ordinary priests only (see S. R. Driver, Exodus, 310-11).
2 tc The MT has here “sash” (singular), but the context is clearly plural and Smr has it in the plural.
3 tn Heb “wrapped headdresses to them”; cf. KJV “bonnets”; NASB, TEV “caps”; NIV, NCV “headbands”; NAB, NLT “turbans.”
