In Jewish tradition

In Leviticus the high priest's special clothes are put on for the service. In Kings, vestments were also given to the worshippers of Baal, so they could be worn for idol worship.

Interpretation. The high priest wore plain white linen garments on Yom Kippur. He changed out of them and bathed, as the law required.

Examples

And he shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place and put on his other vestments, and come forth, and offer his burnt-offering and the burnt-offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people. (Torah LEV.16.24, JPS 1917) tree →
