What does the Bible say about the mitre of the high priest?

Answered in 1 source

The mitre symbolizes holiness to the Lord and represents Christ's role as our Great High Priest.

The mitre, as described in Exodus 28:36-39, features a golden plate inscribed with 'holiness to the Lord.' This design serves to highlight the high priest's role in bearing the iniquity of the holy offerings and signifies his submission to God's will. Moreover, it ultimately points to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the true Holy One, representing us before God without the need for a personal sacrifice, unlike Aaron. His perfect righteousness is what allows Him to stand in God's presence, which sets Him apart as our sole mediator and redeemer.
