Holy Garments for Holy Work
This verse lists the special clothing required for the priests. Commentators identify distinct sets: the ornate state robes for the high priest (Aaron), his special white linen garments for the Day of Atonement, and the white linen garments for all other priests during their regular duties. These garments were not for personal use but were holy, set apart for ministering before the Lord in the Tabernacle.
