The Priest's Inner Garments
This verse describes the priest's foundational garments: a tunic, a turban (mitre), and a girdle. Commentators clarify that the tunic was not embroidered but woven in a special 'checker work' or 'diaper' pattern. The mitre was a turban made from a long piece of fine linen, and the girdle was also exceptionally long, designed to be wrapped multiple times around the body.
