Subjects in this Topic:
BREECHES.—Rather short drawers of white linen ordered to be worn by the priests on grounds of modesty (Exo_28:42, Lev_16:4, Eze_44:18, Sir_45:8). Josephus describes those worn in his time in his Ant. III. vii. 1. The modern trousers are represented in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] by Hosen (wh. see).
