the description of which in the book of Exodus - Exodus 28:6, etc. relates only to its materials. As to its shape, the LXX calls it επωμις, which signifies that it was worn on the shoulders. So also Josephus, who says it was a cubit long. St. Jerome compares it with the Roman caracalla, which was a sort of short cloak, only that it had a head or hood, which the ephod had not.Reciprocal28:2 - holy garments; 28:8 - curious; 28:31 - General; 29:29 - anointed; 31:10 - General; 39:2 - General; 39:5 - curious; Leviticus 16:4 - therefore; 16:24 - his garments; 21:10 - consecrated; 1 Samuel 2:18 - a linen ephod; 2:28 - And did I; Psalm 105:26 - Aaron; Ezekiel 42:14 - they not go; Hosea 3:4 - ephod; Revelation 1:13 - and girt

where he is said to be ενδεδυμενος ποδηρη, "clothed with a garment down to the feet," which perfectly agrees with the description the Jewish writers give of it; who also say, that it had sleeves which came down to the wrist, and was tied about the neck; so that it was not unlike a long shirt. It was common to all the priests; but the tunic of the high priest was made of finer linen, or wove in a more curious manner - Exodus 28:4.putHeb. boundbonnetsThe migbao?th, or bonnets, are described by Josephus as being like helmets of linen, one wreath being plaited and folded over another and a thin cap, suited to its shape, put over all, to prevent its unfolding.Reciprocal31:10 - General; 39:27 - coats; Leviticus 8:4 - General; Ezekiel 42:14 - they not go

The beginning of this verse may be rendered, "And Moses slew it, and took the blood," etc. We find it expressly said in Exodus, that Moses slew the sacrifices. Exodus 29:11
Yet, in general, the offerer seems to have killed his own sacrifice.Reciprocal27:2 - horns of it upon the four corners thereof; Leviticus 4:6 - dip; 4:25 - put; 9:9 - General; 16:16 - an atonement; 17:11 - I have; 2 Chronicles 29:22 - sprinkled; Ezekiel 43:20 - take; Habakkuk 3:1 - General

Part of the blood was applied, not as that of the sin offering, to the horns of the altar, but to Aaron and his sons; to the tips of their right ears, the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet: implying their obligation to hearken diligently to the word of God - to do his work in the best manner which they could, and to walk in his ways with steady perseverance; and also, that they could not do these things acceptably except through the atoning blood, received and applied by faith. Then part of the blood reserved upon the altar, probably in a basin for that purpose, was mingled with the holy anointing oil, and sprinkled on the garments both of Aaron and his sons, to hallow them to the Lord.
