Commentary for Exodus 40:14
**Themes:**
Exodus 40:14 touches on the themes of priestly consecration and the importance of proper attire for service in the tabernacle. The verse is part of the instructions given by God to Moses for setting up the tabernacle, which is the portable dwelling place for God's presence among the Israelites. The act of clothing Aaron's sons with coats is symbolic of their dedication to the priesthood and their role as mediators between God and the people.
**Historical Context:**
This verse is situated within the broader context of the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to the establishment of their nationhood under God's guidance. The book of Exodus details the giving of the Law, including the instructions for worship and the construction of the tabernacle. After the tabernacle's completion, the priesthood is formally instituted with Aaron and his sons serving as the first priests. The clothing of the priests, including the coats mentioned in Exodus 40:14, is described in detail in Exodus 28 and is meant to reflect the holiness and glory of God. The historical context is that of a newly formed nation receiving divine instructions for worship and societal structure shortly after their exodus from Egypt.
