草戊尚土 牧師和各位俱樂部的兄姐，平安：
記得小女兒剛出生後第一次幫她穿衣服，手忙腳亂的新手把拔，也不知道尿布要怎麼包，裡面的麻紗衣要綁哪條線，再來要怎麼穿那連身的兔子裝，最後的包巾也搞不清楚是要怎麼包，只好請教岳母，一個口令一個動作才把這些複雜的衣物搞定。
或許，大祭司的服裝也像是小寶貝的衣服，每一件都有天父的愛與祝福吧。
卯同學 敬上

[和平教會 草戊尚土靈修俱樂部] 三年讀經默想與題目 (草戊尚土) 090706有新意見。

There are three biblical passages concerning the priestly vestments:
1. The instructions for the garments (Ex 28:1-43).
2. The preparation of the garments (Ex 39:1-31).
3. The investiture of the garments (Le 8:5-9).
A threefold purpose is discernible:
1. Decorative--This was most essential since the appearance of the high priest was to convey the beauty and authority that belonged to God himself.
2. Functional--The breeches, for example, were for the sake of modesty (Ex 28:42).
3. Symbolic--The 12 precious stones of the breastpiece of judgment represented the 12 tribes of Israel. When wearing this article, the high priest bore the names of the tribes to bring them to continual remembrance before the Lord (Ex 28:29).
There are seven articles of clothing:
1. 褲子Breeches--This particular garment (Ex 28:42) was to assure the modesty demanded of the priest when officiating at the altar (20:26). This tells us that the flesh counts for nothing; the words God tells us is the spirit (Joh 6:63).
2. 內袍Tunic--This item was to be worn under the outer garment. Made of linen, it was to have a checked design, indicating either an open texture or a variegation of colors (Ex 28:39). Its white color represents a need to become pure and blameless children of God.
3. 腰帶Girdle--This was a kind of linen sash, essential to a flowing garment, to assure warmth and maneuverability. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms (1Pe 4:10).
4. 外袍Robe of the Ephod (Ex 28:31-34)--The first "over" piece to be put on was the robe. The skirts of this robe were fringed with alternating woolen pomegranates and golden bells. Pomegranates were used for decorative purposes. (1 Ki 7:20, 42). This fruit was also popular as a fertility symbol because of its many seeds, suggesting incomparable fruitfulness.
5. 以弗得Ephod (Ex 28:6-12)--It was fastened to the body by two shoulder straps and a belt with which it was lined. Upon the shoulder straps were two onyx stones, on which the names of the sons of Israel were engraved in the order of their birth. These two onyx stones, called "stones of remembrance," were to symbolize God shouldered lost sheep. He urged us to encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone (1Th 5:14).
6. 胸牌Breastpiece (Ex 28:15-30). Chains of braided gold and golden rings with loops of blue secured the breastpiece in position. Its primary purpose was to contain the sacred lot, the Urim and Thummim. By wearing them above his heart, Aaron would indicate that justice originates with God and would remind God to maintain the administration of justice in Israel. It's also like God's calling His own sheep by name and leading them out (Joh 10:3).
7. 冠冕Turban (Ex 28:36-38). Attached to this turban was a plate of pure gold on which were engraved the words "Holy to the Lord." This gold plate was equivalent to a diadem or crown, symbolizing the regal splendor of the high priest.
All in all, if we want to live a glorious and beautiful life, we should follow the way God instructs us to dress ourselves.

謝謝您推薦的哆啦A夢樂園，那不是我的童年回憶，我是長大以後因為喜歡"時光機"才迷上哆啦A夢的（我小時候喜歡的卡通是...小甜甜，oops!這裡可以討論卡通嗎？趕快溜，別被牧師發現）

大家平安
"你對於大祭司服裝上面的複雜裝飾有何感想？"
說實話，很難想像和平四位瘦瘦牧師中哪一位可以撐得起來祭司的衣服，一定很重吧！！（可是神也沒說祭司必須是胖壯的呀，嗯...我太小看牧師們的力氣了）
紅寶石、紅璧璽、紅玉、綠寶石、藍寶石、金鋼石、紫瑪瑙、白瑪瑙、紫晶、水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉，都鑲在金槽中。還有用精金擰成如繩子的鍊子...。看起來真的很重！
這樣的繁複所代表的意義卻很深厚，除了原先的以色列的十二支派，我們應該也可以把這些不同顏色、質地的玉石，當作各個種族、國家的預表吧！
