Commentary on Exodus 28:2

Holy garments for Aaron 'for glory and for beauty' (לְכָבוֹד וּלְתִפְאָרֶת, l'kavod ul'tiferet). The priest represents God to the people and people to God; his appearance must reflect both roles. The garments don't make him holy (consecration does that) but display his holy status. 'Glory' suggests weight, honor, majesty—God's character. 'Beauty' suggests attractiveness, desirability—God's appeal. Christ our High Priest displays both God's glory and beauty, making God both awesome and attractive.
