And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Cloths of service - official robes. The ephod of the high priest, the robe of the ephod, the girdle of needlework, and the broidered coat were all of fine linen; for on no material less delicate could such elaborate symbolical figures have been portrayed in embroidery, and all beautified with the same brilliant colours. (See the note at Exodus 28:1-43.)
