LEVITICUS | 6:4 garments — LEV63 It is desirable to go suitably dressed and ...

LEV63 It is desirable to go suitably dressed and especially when sitting down to a meal (Shabbat 114a. Spoken of the High Priest, who was not to appear in the Holy of Holies in vestments in which he prepared the sacrifices), a lesson derived by the School of Rabbi Yishmael from their explanation of "And he shall take off his garments and put it on others" [this verse]. Appearances are very important, and man was advised to spend more on dress than on food. Such advice was considered unnecessary for woman; nature has seen to that. "Woman's armour which she carries about with her, is her beauty", of mind, as well as of body, if we are to be chivalrous.
