Leviticus 6:10

Context
6:10 Then the priest must put on his linen robe and must put linen leggings 1  over his bare flesh, and he must take up the fatty ashes of the burnt offering that the fire consumed on the altar, 2  and he must place them 3  beside the altar.

Leviticus 8:7

Context
8:7 Then he 4  put the tunic 5  on Aaron, 6  wrapped the sash around him, 7  and clothed him with the robe. 8  Next he put the ephod on him 9  and placed on him 10  the decorated band of the ephod, and fastened the ephod closely to him with the band. 11 

1 tn The exact nature of this article of the priest’s clothing is difficult to determine. Cf. KJV, ASV “breeches”; NAB “drawers”; NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “undergarments”; NCV “underclothes”; CEV “underwear”; TEV “shorts.”

2 tn Heb “he shall lift up the fatty ashes which the fire shall consume the burnt offering on the altar.”

3 tn Heb “it,” referring the “fatty ashes” as a single unit.

4 sn Here Moses actually clothes Aaron (cf. v. 13 below for Aaron’s sons). Regarding the various articles of clothing see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 111-12 and esp. J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:501-13.

5 sn The term “tunic” refers to a shirt-like garment worn next to the skin and, therefore, put on first (cf. Exod 28:4, 39-40; 29:5, 8; 39:27). Traditionally this has been translated “coat” (so KJV, ASV), but that English word designates an outer garment.

6 tn Heb “on him”; the referent (Aaron) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

7 tn Heb “girded him with the sash” (so NASB); NCV “tied the cloth belt around him.”

sn The sash fastened the tunic around the waist (Exod 28:4, 39; 29:9; 39:29).

8 sn The robe was a long shirt-like over-garment that reached down below the knees. Its hem was embroidered with pomegranates and golden bells around the bottom (Exod 28:4, 31-35; 29:5; 39:22-26).

9 sn The ephod was an apron like garment suspended from shoulder straps. It draped over the robe and extended from the chest down to the thighs (Exod 28:4, 6-14, 25-28; 29:5; 39:2-7).

10 tn Heb “girded him with.”

11 sn The decorated band of the ephod served as a sort of belt around Aaron’s body that would hold the ephod closely to him rather than allowing it to hang loosely across his front (Exod 28:8, 27; 29:5; 39:5, 20).
