Kingdom of Priests
The high priest in particular is interesting to watch because he's the best dressed israelite. He has this elaborate costume that he wears, made with gold and jewels. And we're told that he's supposed to bear the names of the sons of israel over his heart. Each gem stone corresponds to one of the 12 tribes. So it's as if they are wearing god's name too. The command is telling them, you are my representatives. I've put my name on you, so represent me.
