Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord said to Moses: When you ordain one of Aaron's sons as my priest, choose a young bull and two rams that have nothing wrong with them. ² Then from your finest flour make three batches of dough without yeast. Shape some of it into larger loaves, some into smaller loaves mixed with olive oil, and the rest into thin wafers brushed with oil. ³ Put all of this bread in a basket and bring it when you come to sacrifice the three animals to me. ⁴ Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the sacred tent and have them wash themselves. ⁵ Dress Aaron in the priestly shirt, the robe that goes under the sacred vest, the vest itself, the breastpiece, and the sash. ⁶ Put on his turban with its narrow strip of engraved gold ⁷ and then ordain him by pouring olive oil on his head. ⁸ Next, dress Aaron's sons in their special shirts ⁹ and caps and their sashes, then ordain them, because they and their descendants will always be priests. ¹⁰ Lead the bull to the entrance of the sacred tent, where Aaron and his sons will lay their hands on its head.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

mitre: Mitznepheth, from tzanaph, to wrap round, evidently means that covering of the head so universal in eastern countries, which we call turband, which consists of a cap, and a sash of fine linen or silk wound round its bottom. Exodus 28:36-39, Leviticus 8:9

Reciprocal: Exodus 28:37 - the mitre it Leviticus 21:12 - for the crown Zechariah 3:5 - fair Zechariah 6:11 - make

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And thou shall put the mitre upon his head,.... Which was made of linen, and was a wrap of linen about his head in the form of a turban:

and put the holy crown upon the mitre; the holy crown was a plate of gold which had these words, "holiness to the Lord", engraven on it; and so says the Targum of Jonathan,

"on which the holy name was engraven;''

the mitre was upon the top of his head, this in the forefront of that; it was upon Aaron's forehead, and reached from ear to ear, and was fastened behind with a blue lace; this was like a crown or a diadem, and denotes the honour and dignity of the priestly office: Christ is a priest on his throne, and his saints are a royal priesthood, even kings as well as priests unto God.
