Essay do Wyjścia 28:36
וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ צִּ֖יץ זָהָ֣ב טָה֑וֹר וּפִתַּחְתָּ֤ עָלָיו֙ פִּתּוּחֵ֣י חֹתָ֔ם קֹ֖דֶשׁ לַֽיהוָֽה׃
I zrobisz téż diadem ze złota szczerego, a wyryjesz na nim rzeźbą pieczętarską: "Święte Wiekuistemu."
The Five Books of Moses, by Everett Fox
Foremost among the symbols on Aharon’s garments is what he bears on his brow: a band with the words “Holiness for Yhwh.” It serves as a symbol of his efforts to obtain forgiveness on behalf of the Israelite people, one of his primary functions as priest. This function extends to cover even unintentional transgressions, such as accidents in the handling of sacred cultic objects.
