HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 45 (PS 132) (420)

We are the robe of Christ. When we have clothed him with our confession of faith, we, in turn, have put on Christ. It is the apostle who says that Christ is our robe, for when we are baptized, we put on Christ. We both clothe and are clothed. Would you like to know in what manner we clothe the Lord? We read in Jeremiah: "Go buy yourself a linen loincloth. Wear it on your loins, and go to the Euphrates. There hide it in a cleft of the rock.

A linen girdle - The appointed dress of the priestly order (Lev 16:4, ...). Put it not in water - i. e., do not wash it, and so let it represent the deep-grained pollution of the people.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

GROTIUS understands a garment not bleached, but left in its native roughness, just as Judah had no beauty, but was adopted by the sole grace of God (Eze 16:4-6). "Neither wast thou washed in water," &c.
