And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:
The ceremonies for consecrating Aaron and his sons had to be set down in detail so that they themselves would grasp the weight of what God called them to, and the people would learn to honor the office and keep their hands off it. The Hebrew word for consecrating means filling the hand, which tells us ministers have their hands full, no time for trifling, their work is so great and constant.

Without this full investiture he cannot minister, and he wears them only while at his work.
