Exodus 28:1 says, And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.  After the specifications for the tabernacle were complete, God told Moses to take Aaron and his sons to minister to God as priests.  Aaron had four sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.  Though God does not call families as preachers all at the same time today, if a person is to be a preacher, it must be because God called him.  The priests were to be God's representatives to the people and were not called simply to lord it over others.  As a priesthood of believers, our task today is to present God and His word to people and not to simply feel morally superior to them.  Verse two states, And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.  Aaron was to have holy garments made for him, for both glory and beauty.  The glory was to be shown to God, not Aaron.  We today have no special garments as Christmas, but whatever we wear should show honor to God.  Verse three says,  And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.  God told Moses that he was to speak to those that were wise hearted so they could make and consecrate the garments for Aaron.  The wise hearted would be those who truly believed in God, and just as Moses called Aaron and his sons to be priests, He called these people to make garments for them.  We do not all serve the same purpose in God's kingdom, but we are all called for a purpose in that kingdom.  Verse four states, And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.  Moses was told what garments in particular were to be made for Aaron and his sons so that they could minister as priests of God.  These garments were to identify Aaron and his sons as priests, so that they might serve God and bring honor to Him.  The call from God, and not the garments, was what made them priests, just as our acceptance of the call to salvation through Christ makes us priests of God today.  Verse five says, And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.  These next few verses are simply details for the garments, beginning with what they were to be made of.  Verse six adds, And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.  This was the specifications for the ephod.  Verse seven adds, It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together. Then verse eight concludes, And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
