Exodus 28:31-35, 39:22-26
I admit it. I don't shop like my wife. She researches, finds the best price at the best place, and then purchases.
When she's out casually shopping, she will head straight to the sale rack like a hummingbird to a feeder. Once there, she will search out something that catches her eye, check the price, and then check the tag to confirm the size and who designed it, before deciding to purchase it.

What we have beginning in Exodus 28 are the first designer clothes. Ralph Lauren doesn't have anything over on our God! These were holy garments, glorious garments, beautiful garments for their design reflected their designer. What that tells us is this: these garments point us to Jesus! No wonder God was so specific in his instructions to Moses regarding these garments. Keep in mind that the more we know ...
