What we wear can communicate a lot about who we are and what we’re doing. You likely would not wear sweatpants to a funeral or a suit to the gym. Clothing styles shift and vary with time, but in every culture they communicate something from reverence to rebellion to relaxation. Our passage teaches on the clothing of the priest in great detail! Probably more than any other passage in scripture we get a picture of the rich symbolism of clothing related to one’s vocation. It is an interesting feature that in the Old Testament almost everything about worship was given very specific detail even down to the colors of the priest garments and the length of the tassels on his robes, and yet we do not have that same level of detail in the New Testament for worship. God commanded the priests to dress in a particular way and consecrated them to their priestly activity so that they’d communicate his glory and beauty and represent the people of God before him, and in that we get a picture of Christ (Exodus 28:1-2, 9). The writer of Hebrews desired that we see Christ as the true and better priest who represents us fully before God.
