The ephod was a beautiful piece of cloth that bore the names of the twelve tribes. It reminds us that we do not stand alone before the Lord, but we are in solidarity with other Christians.
The breastplate was also a skillfully crafted garment used to make godly decisions. It reminds us that all our decisions are done by consulting God's Word.
The turban, covered the head. It reminds us of our need for God's thorough covering. The engraved seal across the turban summarized the entire garment. It said, "HOLY TO THE LORD" (Ex. 28:36).
The priest belonged to God, represented God, was to be holy as God is holy, and lived to glorify God.
