And he said unto him that was over the vestry, etc.] That had the care of the garments, in which the priests of Baal ministered: bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal; not for the priests only, but for all that worshipped; and this he ordered for the greater solemnity of this service, as he would have it thought; but, in truth, that the worshippers of Baal might be separated, and distinguished from the worshippers of the Lord, that not one of them might be among them: and he brought them forth vestments; out of the chamber or wardrobe in which they were, and they put them on.
