חסידות אויף שמות 28:3

Exodus 28,2. “you are to make sacred garments for your ‎brother Aaron , for dignity and adornment. Next you shall ‎instruct all who are skilful and whom I have endowed with ‎the gift of skill, to make Aaron’s vestments to sanctify him, ‎etc.” Judging from the apparent repetition in these two verses, ‎i.e. Moses was commanded to sanctify his brother Aaron, and ‎then the craftsmen were commanded by Moses, that Aaron was ‎to be attired in these vestments to be made in honour of G’d; ‎apparently Aaron was to serve as a vestment for G’d, Who, when ‎on earth, must garb Himself in a manner that prevents harm ‎coming to the people among whom He “dwells.” We have a ‎concept according to which the souls of the righteous serve as ‎vessels harboring celestial attributes. This is the meaning of: ‎ועשית בגדי קודש לאהרן אחיך‎, that Aaron’s soul was to serve as ‎sacred vestments for celestial attributes. The words: ‎לכבוד ‏ולתפארת‎, refer to these celestial attributes of G’d. However, the ‎people described as ‎חכמי לב‎, “endowed with wisdom,” were ‎employed to construct garments for Aaron’s body. This is why in ‎this connection (verse 3) we have the word ‎אהרן‎, whereas ‎previously in verse 2 the Torah spoke of ‎לאהרן‎, “for something ‎that was part of Aaron,” referring to Aaron’s soul rather than to ‎his body.
