39. coat of fine linen--a garment fastened at the neck, and
reaching far down the person, with the sleeves terminating at the
elbow.
girdle of needlework--a piece of fine twined linen, richly
embroidered, and variously dyed. It is said to have been very long, and
being many times wound round the body, it was fastened in front and the
ends hung down, which, being an impediment to a priest in active duty,
were usually thrown across the shoulders. This was the outer garment of
the common priests.
