VERSE: Ex28-04g


RASHIS COVERED: Ex28-04g Lv16-04b



======== Priestly Garments Come from HOLY TEMPLE FUNDS ==========

 Rashi points out (Ex28-04g, Lv16-04b) that the proper
 translation of the Hebrew phrase BIGDAY KODESH is not HOLY
 CLOTHES (which in Hebrew would be BeGaDiM MeKuDaShiM) but
 rather CLOTHES OF THE HOLINESS (or more smoothly,CLOTHES OF
 THE HOLY TEMPLE).*1

 This teaches us that Priestly clothes come from Temple funds.

 The LIST below shows that in every major reference of PRIESTLY
 CLOTHES they are always referred to as CLOTHES OF THE HOLY
 TEMPLE.*2

=================================================================
VERSE      Verse TEXT with CLOTHES referred to as TEMPLE CLOTHES
========== ======================================================
Ex28-01:05 God told Moses:tell Jews to Make HOLY [TEMPLE] Clothes
Ex31-10    The artisan will make Clothes of the HOLY [TEMPLE]
Ex35-04:20 Take materials..make the Clothes of the HOLY [TEMPLE]
Ex39-01    They made the Clothes of the HOLY [TEMPLE] for Aaron
Ex40-13    Dress Aaron with the Clothes of the HOLY [TEMPLE]
Lv16-04    Let Aaron dress ...the Clothes of the HOLY [TEMPLE]

NOTES
=====
*1 The technical grammatical point is that BIGDAY KODESH occurs
   in the construct state and therefore the phrase should be
   translated as CLOTHES OF ...

*2 Thus in all major chapters the Priestly Garments are referred
  to as the Priestly Garments OF THE HOLY [TEMPLE].

  However we are not saying that every occurence of the
  word CLOTHES has the adjectival phrase OF THE HOLY TEMPLE
  (For example, Lv06-04 says ...AARON.. WILL REMOVE HIS CLOTHES)
==================================================================





=== REITERATION THAT EVERY PRIESTLY GARMENT COMES FROM TEMPLE ===

 There are only 3 main sets of verses in the Bible where the
 LINENs worn by the priest are mentioned. The contrast is
 glaring---in one of them it says LINENS of the HOLY [TEMPLE]
 thus reiterating that each and every garment comes from
 TEMPLE funds.

=================================================================
VERSE   COMMAND IN VERSE  CLOTHES IN VERSE IS HOLINESS MENTIONED
======= ================  ================ ======================
Ex28-42         Make      LINEN Pants
Lv06-03 Let him wear ..   LINEN Pants
Lv16-04 He will wear a    LINEN Tunic      of the HOLY [TEMPLE]*1


NOTES
=====
*1 As can be seen in only one verse is it mentioned that these
   garments come from the HOLY [TEMPLE]. In light of the first
   LIST we interpret this to be an emphasis that each and every
   Priestly garments comes from the HOLY [TEMPLE]
