Overview: “Tetzaveh” outlines the sacred garments for Aaron and his sons as they serve as priests, including the ephod, breastplate, robe, and turban. It also describes their consecration process and the construction of the golden altar for incense, which symbolizes intercessory prayer.
Commentary: The priestly garments reflect the honor and responsibility of those who serve before God. The breastplate, with its twelve stones, represents the tribes of Israel, showing how the priest carries the people’s needs before the Lord. Yeshua, our eternal High Priest, fulfills this role, interceding for us with the Father. The incense altar signifies the prayers of the saints, a sweet aroma before God.
