EZEKIEL 42:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.”
When the priests enter the holy place, they shall not go out into the outer courtyard without removing the clothes in which they minister, for these are holy; they shall put on other clothes and approach the outer courtyard where the people are—establishing the requirement for priestly change of clothing when transitioning from holy to common space. The separation of priestly garments from common space emphasizes the boundary between sacred and profane. The prohibition against wearing priestly garments in the people's area maintains the sanctity of the priesthood. The requirement for intermediate clothing emphasizes gradual transition from sacred to common. This verse establishes ritual protocols governing priestly movement and clothing.
