- Exodus 28:42

Commentary on Exodus 28:422 voices
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Linen breeches - This command had in view the necessity of purity and decency in every part of the Divine worship, in opposition to the shocking indecency of the pagan worship in general, in which the priests often ministered naked, as in the sacrifices to Bacchus, etc. On the garments of the high priest some general reflections have already been made; see Exo 28:2 (note): and to what is there said it may be just necessary to add, that there can be no doubt of their being all emblematical of spiritual things; but of which, and in what way, no man can positively say.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Exodus 39:28
as well as the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands and undergarments of finely spun linen,
- Leviticus 6:10

- Leviticus 16:4
He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.
Commentary on Leviticus 16:42 voices
He shall put on the holy linen coat,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He shall put on the holy linen coat - He was not to dress in his pontifical garments, but in the simple sacerdotal vestments, or those of the Levites, because it was a day of humiliation; and as he was to offer sacrifices for his own sins, it was necessary that he should appear in habits suited to the occasion. Hence he has neither the robe, the ephod, the breastplate, the mitre, etc.; these constituted his dress of dignity as the high priest of God, ministering for others and the representative of Christ: but now he appears, before God as a sinner, offering an atonement for his transgressions, and his garments are those of humiliation.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Ezekiel 44:18
They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.
Commentary on Ezekiel 44:182 voices
The Lord - That glory which was the visible sign of his presence. He - The king might sit before the Lord, others might not. Bread - That part of the sacrifice, which was allowed to the offerer.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
And they shall have linen bonnets upon their heads,....
