He assumes that 'and he shall take up the ashes' also means during the night, (i.e., 'all night') , since the whole verse reads: And the priest shall put on his linen garment . . and he shall take up the ashes: as it does not say that he must don his linen garment in the morning, it is assumed that he did it at night and straightway took up the ashes. Thus this contradicts the implication of the first verse.');">⁴</span>
