Exodus 27: This chapter describes the construction of the tabernacle, a portable sanctuary that the Israelites were to use during their travels in the wilderness. The tabernacle was to be made of wood and covered with skins, and it was to have three parts: the holy place, the holy of holies, and the courtyard.
Exodus 28: This chapter describes the clothing that the priests were to wear when they ministered in the tabernacle. The high priest was to wear a special breastplate that had twelve gemstones on it, each representing one of the tribes of Israel.
From an atheist perspective, these chapters are simply a record of the beliefs and practices of the ancient Israelites. There is no evidence to suggest that the tabernacle or the priestly clothing actually existed, and there is no reason to believe that they were anything more than symbolic objects.
As an atheist we might also point out that the instructions for building the tabernacle and making the priestly clothing are very specific, which suggests that they were not the product of divine inspiration. Rather, they seem to be the result of human ingenuity and creativity.
Ultimately, as an atheist we would argue that there is no reason to believe that the events described in Exodus chapters 27 and 28 actually happened. They are simply stories that were passed down from generation to generation, and they should be interpreted as such.
