MEDITATION
Exodus 28:1-4
1 “Now take Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to Me as priest, Aaron and Aaron’s sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.
3 So you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.
4 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a skillfully woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest.

沉思
《出埃及记 28：1－4》
1 “你要从以色列百姓当中把你的哥哥亚伦和他四个儿子——拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒和以他玛带到你身边，立他们为祭司事奉我。
2 你要为你哥哥亚伦做一件圣衣，显出他职位的荣耀和尊贵。
3 你要吩咐所有我赋予智慧的巧手裁缝师为亚伦缝制衣服，使他分别出来，做圣洁的祭司事奉我。4 他们要做的圣衣包括胸牌、以弗得、外袍、杂色的内袍、礼冠和腰带。要为你哥哥亚伦及其众子做这样的圣衣，好让他们做祭司事奉我。
