Purple Pomegranates

Exodus 39: 22-31

So remember our discussion about holy robes and ornamental pomegranates? Didn't think so...http://chiphall.blogspot.com/2008/06/holy-underwear-exodus-28-31-43-and-now.html.

They make the robes and headbands and undergarments which makes me think that observing Aaron and his family would look very much like an episode of "Kung Fu" or maybe like Will Ferrell in "Semi-Pro".

Finally, they made the plate and engraved "HOLY TO THE LORD" on it. And of the detail given here, this is the point that seems the most important. Despite the oddness of the attire, especially out of the context of their culture, ultimately all their work was to proclaim God's holiness. It was a form of worship.

And our labor, no matter our specific skill, can have the same purpose. With or without headbands.
