In Jewish tradition

Aaron's sons were consecrated priests, and the holy garments were passed on to later priests who would be consecrated in them. Chronicles counts the consecrated things as animals given for the Temple.

Interpretation. The priestly garments themselves carry holiness, and the high priest of each generation is consecrated in them.
