This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
When, at the time of their service, the priests, and Levites also, who assisted, enter therein, come into the court of the temple or inmost court in their priestly garments to offer sacrifice, or to do any other part of their office,
then, when they have done their office,
shall they not go out, in their priestly garments, of the holy place, the court of the priests, not of the temple, into the utter court, the court of the people.
There; in some one of the chambers of south or north buildings, which is a wardrobe for them. Lay their garments; lay up, either for other priests, whose course came next, or for themselves against the next return of their course.
Wherein they minister; expressly directed by God, Exo_28:40-43.
They are holy; consecrated, ceremonially and relatively holy, for they are not capable of inherent holiness.
Shall put on other garments when they go out of this court into the outer, or outmost, they must put on common garments.
Shall approach to those things, and so they may, as they have occasion, and see good,
which are for the people; which common people may meddle with, which the priests may in their ordinary garments intermeddle with, and not be guilty, but may not touch while in the garments of their ministration..
