The priestly undergarments ( ''miḵnəsē-ḇāḏ'') were "linen breeches" (KJV) worn by the priests and the High Priest in ancient Israel. They reached from the waist to the knees and so were not visible, being entirely hidden by the priestly tunic. ==Hebrew Bible== The biblical commandment instituting their use is found in the Book of Exodus You shall also make for them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; they shall extend from the hips to the thighs. Unlike the other priestly vestments which were "for glory and for beauty" (), the purpose of the michnasayin was for modesty, "to hide their nakedness". In the Book of Leviticus when Moses consecrates Aaron and his sons as High Priest and priests, respectively, the linen undergarments are not mentioned (, ), though their use is obviously presumed. There were four holy garments worn by both the priests and the High Priest alike: * linen breeches to cover their nakedness when they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to officiate in the sanctuary. * Priestly tunic, a fringed tunic made of fine linen, covering the entire body from the neck to the feet, with sleeves reaching to the wrists. That of the High Priest was embroidered (). * Priestly sash of the High Priest was of linen with "embroidered work" (); sashes were made for other priests also. * Priestly turban, according to Rabbinic literature that of the High Priest was much larger than that of the priests and wound so that it formed a broad, flat-topped turban; that for priests was wound so that it formed a cone-shaped turban, called a ''migbahat''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Priestly undergarments」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
