Leviticus 16:32-33 - Exposition

That there may be no mistake, it is specifically enjoined that not only Aaron, but the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate —meaning, the high priest that shall be anointed, and shall be consecrated— to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead —that is, to succeed from time to time to the high priesthood— shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes , even the holy garments . Again it may be noticed that the white robes are termed, not the penitential, but the holy, garments.
