Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 44:19

"And when they go forth into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they minister, and lay them in the holy chambers; and they shall put on other garments, that they sanctify not the people with their garments." — Ezekiel 44:19 (ASV)

They shall put off their garments.— The requirement that the priests are to wear their official dress only when engaged in official duty, putting it on when they entered the inner court, and putting it off when they went out, which is only implied in Exodus and Leviticus, is here expressly instructed. Utter here, as elsewhere, means outer.
