The white turban represented purity of thought and humility (the opposite of conceit).<\/p>\n<p>The high priest also wore a gold crown inscribed with the words, \u201c<i>Kadosh l\u2019YHVH<\/i>\u201d meaning \u201cSet-Apart to YHVH.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dangling pomegranates attached to the hem of his robe represented the fruits of the Spirit of Elohim, which should be manifesting in the life of the saint. The golden bells, also attached to the hem of his robe, jingled when the high priest walked. These symbolized the righteous walk of the saint: people should hear and see our good spiritual fruits. All of our actions speak loudly and clearly as to who we are and what we believe. Also, Yeshua taught that our words reveal the true condition of our heart (Luke 6:45). How, then, do people really view us? What are we like when we are alone\u2014our thought life and our words\u2014our secret life? Is there a discrepancy between our secret and public lives? If so why? How set apart and righteous are we \u2026 in reality?<\/p>\n<p>If YHVH has called us to be his set-apart priesthood, then hadn\u2019t we better get busy cleaning up our act and start acting like one?<\/p>\n<p>Jewish tradition tells us that a rope was tied to the leg of the high priest in Second Temple times so that while ministering in the innermost sanctuary of the temple if he was impure and YHVH struck him dead (as happened to Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, when they offered up strange fire) the corpse could be dragged out by the rope. This teaches us that we should view being righteous and set apart seriously. Remember Hebrews 12:14 which \u00a0instructs us to, \u201cFollow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man will see the Master.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'The High Priest\\&#039;s Garments\u2014The Similitude of the Saint',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2019\/03\/05\/the-high-priests-garments\/',contentID: 'post-14198',suggestTags: 'High Priest',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exodus 39:1, The holy garments for Aaron.
