EZEKIEL 44:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.”
When they go in through the gates of the inner court, they shall wear linen garments; they shall not wear anything of wool, when they minister at the gates of the inner court or within the house'—establishing a dress code for priests serving in the inner sanctuary. The linen specification emphasizes purity and distinction from common garments. The prohibition on wool reflects distinctions in purity requirements. The specification of garments for different locations (gates, within sanctuary) emphasizes that dress depends on proximity to sacred space. This verse establishes priestly garment requirements.
