What does 'light and perfection' mean in the context of the high priest's garments?

Answered in 1 source

Light and perfection refer to the divine wisdom and holiness that characterizes the high priest's ministry, pointing to Christ's ultimate perfection.

'Light and perfection' described in reference to the Urim and Thummim in the high priest's breastplate highlight the divine guidance and purity required for God's people. These elements symbolized God's perfect knowledge and wisdom that was available to His people through the priestly ministry. In Christ, we see the ultimate fulfillment of this idea, as He embodies both light—revealing truth—and perfection, being sinless and holy. This dual aspect reminds believers that it is through Christ that they receive understanding and righteousness, allowing them to approach God confidently, in reliance on His perfect work.
