What significance do the priestly garments have in relation to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The priestly garments foreshadow Christ's perfect righteousness and His role as the mediator of a new covenant.

The priestly garments discussed in Exodus serve as types and shadows of the greater reality that is found in Christ. Each element, from the coats to the girdles, represents different aspects of His nature and works. The garments, particularly the linen ones, symbolize purity and righteousness, which are integral to Christ's identity and work (2 Corinthians 5:21). As Aaron's garments were for glory and beauty, they reflect the majesty of Christ and the glory of His redemptive work. Furthermore, the anointing and consecration of the priests illustrate how believers are sanctified in Christ and called to serve in the beauty of holiness, fulfilling the role of priests in the new covenant established through His blood.
