Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
The high priest wore a holy crown, or 'golden plate,' 'upon his fore-front,' above the mitre (Zechariah 3:5; Leviticus 8:9). Messiah shall wear many crowns, one surmounting the other (Revelation 19:12). It was a thing before unknown in the Levitical priesthood, that the same person should wear at once the crown of a king and that of a high priest. The same combination appears in the prophecy of Messiah (Psalms 110:1-2; Psalms 110:4; Hebrews 5:10). Messiah shall be revealed fully in his two-fold dignity, when he shall "restore the kingdom to Israel" (Acts 1:6).
