And it shall come to pass that, when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, for the performance of the special functions pertaining to their office, they shall be clothed with linen garments, as were the priests of old, Exodus 28:39; and no wool shall come upon them whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court and within, namely, in the Sanctuary proper. "Wool soon induces perspiration in the sultry East and so becomes uncleanly. "
