Commentary on Exodus 40:13
Clothing Aaron in 'holy garments' (בִּגְדֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ, bigdei haQodesh) and anointing him consecrates him for priesthood. The sequence—washing (v. 12), clothing, anointing—teaches purification, covering, and empowerment. The holy garments, detailed in chapter 28 and constructed in chapter 39, represent righteousness enabling ministry. Aaron's anointing prefigures Christ, anointed with the Spirit (Acts 10:38), who clothes believers in His righteousness (Isaiah 61:10). The phrase 'that he may minister unto me in the priest's office' connects consecration to function—holiness enables service.
