Context8:7 Then he 1 put the tunic 2 on Aaron, 3 wrapped the sash around him, 4 and clothed him with the robe. 5 Next he put the ephod on him 6 and placed on him 7 the decorated band of the ephod, and fastened the ephod closely to him with the band. 8
Leviticus 8:13
Context8:13 Moses also brought forward Aaron’s sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes around them, 9 and wrapped headbands on them 10 just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:33-35
Context8:33 And you must not go out from the entrance of the Meeting Tent for seven days, until the day when your days of ordination are completed, because you must be ordained over a seven-day period. 11 8:34 What has been done 12 on this day the Lord has commanded to be done 13 to make atonement for you. 8:35 You must reside at the entrance of the Meeting Tent day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the Lord so that you will not die, for this is what I have been commanded.”
[8:7] 1 sn Here Moses actually clothes Aaron (cf. v. 13 below for Aaron’s sons). Regarding the various articles of clothing see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 111-12 and esp. J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:501-13.
[8:7] 2 sn The term “tunic” refers to a shirt-like garment worn next to the skin and, therefore, put on first (cf. Exod 28:4, 39-40; 29:5, 8; 39:27). Traditionally this has been translated “coat” (so KJV, ASV), but that English word designates an outer garment.
[8:7] 3 tn Heb “on him”; the referent (Aaron) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[8:7] 4 tn Heb “girded him with the sash” (so NASB); NCV “tied the cloth belt around him.”
[8:7] 5 sn The robe was a long shirt-like over-garment that reached down below the knees. Its hem was embroidered with pomegranates and golden bells around the bottom (Exod 28:4, 31-35; 29:5; 39:22-26).
[8:7] 6 sn The ephod was an apron like garment suspended from shoulder straps. It draped over the robe and extended from the chest down to the thighs (Exod 28:4, 6-14, 25-28; 29:5; 39:2-7).
[8:7] 7 tn Heb “girded him with.”
[8:7] 8 sn The decorated band of the ephod served as a sort of belt around Aaron’s body that would hold the ephod closely to him rather than allowing it to hang loosely across his front (Exod 28:8, 27; 29:5; 39:5, 20).
[8:13] 9 tc The MT has here “sash” (singular), but the context is clearly plural and Smr has it in the plural.
[8:13] 10 tn Heb “wrapped headdresses to them”; cf. KJV “bonnets”; NASB, TEV “caps”; NIV, NCV “headbands”; NAB, NLT “turbans.”
[8:33] 11 tn Heb “because seven days he shall fill your hands”; KJV “for seven days shall he consecrate you”; CEV “ends seven days from now.”
[8:34] 12 tn Heb “just as he has done” (cf. the note on v. 33).
[8:34] 13 tn Heb “the
