XVI, 4.');"><sup>9</sup></span> the putting on [of the priestly vestments] is indispensable, but nothing else is indispensable.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The verse reads: He shall pull on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen breeches . . and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired . . and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on. Thus 'put them on' is emphasized by being repeated in the verse, to teach that that only is indispensable, but the other thing mentioned, viz bathing. is not indispensable.');"><sup>10</sup></span>
