Ezekiel 44:17-19

Verses 17-19

17-19. Linen garments were worn by the Hebrew priests (Exodus 28:39; Exodus 28:42; Exodus 39:27-28), as by the Egyptian ( Herodotus, 2:37), because of its cleanliness and because of its symbolization of purity. Sweat was regarded, both by the Egyptians and Hebrews, as unclean. These holy garments were to be left in the inner sanctuary (Ezekiel 42:14) lest they should touch the people who were working in the outer courts and therefore “sanctify” them that is, separate them unto God, making them unfit for their ordinary duties. (Compare Ezekiel 46:20; Exodus 29:37; Exodus 30:29; Leviticus 6:18; Leviticus 6:27.)
