bring unto the door of the tabernacle

on Exodus 29:4-7

The consecration runs water, then garments, then oil, and each of the three falls differently on Aaron than on his sons. Aaron alone has the anointing oil poured on his head at verse 7, while the sons receive theirs at verse 21 by sprinkling, with blood mixed into it. Psalm 133:2 remembers the ointment running down upon the beard of Aaron. Verse 6 sets the holy crown on the mitre, and Exodus 39:30 gives the words engraved on it, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

Thou shalt take the garments - As most offices of spiritual and secular dignity had appropriate habits and insignia, hence, when a person was appointed to an office and habited for the purpose, he was said to be invested with that office, from in, used intensively, and vestio, I clothe, because he was then clothed with the vestments peculiar to that office.
