John Calvin on Exodus 20:26

26. Neither shalt thou go up. When God had prescribed modesty to the priests in their whole life, and in their private actions, no wonder that He should require especial care of decency and propriety in the performance of their sacred duties. He had indeed already desired that the priests should wear drawers or breeches when they went into the sanctuary; yet not content with this symbol of purity, He forbids them to ascend the altar by steps, lest haply the drawers themselves should be seen; since the dignity and sanctity of sacred things would thus be impaired. By all means, therefore, He would induce the Israelites to conduct themselves most purely and most chastely in the exercises of religion.

Numbers 6

Numbers 6:22-27

22. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

22. Et loquutus est Jehova ad Mosen, dicendo:

23. Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

23. Alloquere Aharon et filios ejus, dicendo, Sic benedicetis filiis Israel, dicendo eis:

24. The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

24. Benedicat tibi Jehova, et custodiat te:

25. The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

25. Lucere faciat Jehova faciem suam super re, et misereatur tui:

26. The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

26. Attollat Jehova faciem suam ad te, et constituat tibi pacem.

27. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

27. Et ponent nomen meum super filiosIsrael, et ego benedicam eis.
