Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 29:6
And thou shalt put the miter upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the miter.
6. the mitre ] the turban: Exo 28:37.
the holy crown ] so Exo 39:30, Lev 8:9. Better, the holy diadem. The term does not occur in ch. 28; but it doubtless denotes the blue lace, with the gold plate in front, which was tied, in the manner of a ‘diadem,’ round the white turban of the high priest (see on Exo 28:37). The word is also used of a royal diadem (2Sa 1:10 al.); and perhaps means properly a (mark of) separation (to Jehovah).

And thou shall put the mitre upon his head,…. Which was made of linen, and was a wrap of linen about his head in the form of a turban:
and put the holy crown upon the mitre; the holy crown was a plate of gold which had these words, “holiness to the Lord”, engraven on it; and so says the Targum of Jonathan,
“on which the holy name was engraven;”
the mitre was upon the top of his head, this in the forefront of that; it was upon Aaron’s forehead, and reached from ear to ear, and was fastened behind with a blue lace; this was like a crown or a diadem, and denotes the honour and dignity of the priestly office: Christ is a priest on his throne, and his saints are a royal priesthood, even kings as well as priests unto God.

(6) The holy crown.The golden plate, inscribed with Holiness to the Lord, and attached to the mitre by a lace or riband, resembled the diadems worn in the East by monarchs, and regarded as the main emblem of their sovereignty. In Egypt, such a diadem is found first in the reign of Amenphis IV. (Khuenaten), the ninth king of the eighteenth dynasty. The assignment of a crown to the high priest gave him that quasi-royal dignity which marked him as a type of our Lord in His threefold office of Prophet, Priest, and King.
