holy linen coat: Heb. of holiness, Greek, a sanctified linen coat, This and the other vestures were peculiar for this day, and for the services of this day; that is, for making atonement: the other service, which was ordinary, he performed this day in his other priestly garments. The eight ornaments usually worn by the high priest are enumerated in Exodus 28:4, etc., and the four that were for this day are here expressed, and are called the white garments, while the others were designated the golden garments, because some were made with gold thread woven in them. These four were made of six double twisted threads, and of flax only. Leviticus 6:10; Exodus 28:2, Exodus 28:39-43, Exodus 39:27-29; Isaiah 53:2; Ezekiel 44:17-18; Luke 1:35; Philippians 2:7; Hebrews 2:14, Hebrews 7:26

therefore: Leviticus 8:6-7; Exodus 29:4, Exodus 30:20, Exodus 40:12, Exodus 40:31-32; Revelation 1:5-6
