17 When they enter the gates of the inner court they must wear linen garments;(A) they must not have on them anything made of wool when they minister at the gates of the inner court and within it. 18 They must wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists.(B) They are not to put on anything that makes them sweat. 19 Before they go out to the outer court,(a) to the people, they must take off the clothes they have been ministering in, leave them in the holy chambers, and dress in other clothes(C) so that they do not transmit holiness to the people through their clothes.(D)
