When the priests enter therein, after performing the functions of their office, then shall they not go out of the Holy Place into the utter court, where they might come into contact with some unclean thing; but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, for they are holy, the cells thus serving also as vestries; and shall put on other garments and shall approach to those things which are for the people. Just as the priests were here instructed to keep themselves strictly uncontaminated in the performance of their duties, so Christians will ever keep themselves unspotted from the world and from the deeds of the flesh.
