Ezekiel42:14

14 When the priests enter therein , then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court , but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy : and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.

At the time of their service.

And Levites also, who assisted.

Come into the Court of the Temple, or inmost Court in their Priestly Garments to offer Sacrifice, or to do any other part of their office.

When they have done their office.

In their Priestly garments.

The Court of the Priests, not of the Temple.

The Court of the people.

In some one of the chambers of South or North Buildings, which is a wardrobe for them.

Lay up, either for other Priests, whose course came next, or for themselves against the next return of their course.

Expresly directed by God, Exod. 28.40, 41, 42, 43.

Consecrated, Ceremonially and Relatively Holy, for they are not capable of inherent Holiness.

When they go out of this Court into the outer, or outmost, they must put on common garments.

And so they may, as they have occasion, and see good.

Which common people may meddle with, which the Priests may in their ordinary garments intermeddle with, and not be guilty, but may not touch, while in the garments of their ministration.
