How does the high priest carry the people before God?

Answered in 1 source

The high priest carries the people on his heart and shoulders, representing Jesus Christ's intercessory role for His people.

The high priest's role involved physically carrying the names of the tribes of Israel on his shoulders and over his heart, signifying the care and love of God for His chosen people. In a spiritual sense, this foreshadows Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest, who intercedes for His people before the Father. Christ, having fulfilled this role, carries believers into the very presence of God, ensuring that their names are remembered and included in His eternal covenant. This emphasizes the comfort and security that believers find in Christ's perpetual mediation on their behalf.
