Moses: Exo 28:40, Exo 28:41, Exo 29:8, Exo 29:9, Exo 40:14, Exo 40:15; Psa 132:9; Isa 61:6, Isa 61:10; Pe1 2:5, Pe1 2:9; Rev 1:6, Rev 5:10 coats: The kethoneth, or coat, was made of linen; but the form of it is no where described in Scripture, except in the visionary appearance of Christ to St. John, in the form and habit of a priest ( Rev 1:13); where he is said to be ενδεδυμενος ποδηρη, "clothed with a garment down to the feet," which perfectly agrees with the description the Jewish writers give of it; who also say, that it had sleeves which came down to the wrist, and was tied about the neck; so that it was not unlike a long shirt. It was common to all the priests; but the tunic of the high priest was made of finer linen, or wove in a more curious manner ( Exo 28:4). put: Heb. bound bonnets: The migbaôth, or bonnets, are described by Josephus as being like helmets of linen, one wreath being plaited and folded over another and a thin cap, suited to its shape, put over all, to prevent its unfolding.
