Miter
One small piece of the high priest’s clothing carried a large message. Exodus 28 describes a turban of fine linen, and on its front a plate of pure gold engraved “HOLINESS TO THE LORD.” It sat on Aaron’s forehead so that the people could be accepted before God. The King James calls this headdress a mitre. It belongs to a set of garments made with careful craft, each piece done “as the LORD commanded Moses” (Exodus 39). Christians read it in different ways, but the plain picture is of a holy God, a mediator and a people in need of both. See Exodus 28:36-38.
