42. Hebrew mikhnasayim, “breeches,” occurs in the Bible solely in connection with the priestly attire. They are here listed separately because they cannot be subsumed under the rubric of vestments that are “for dignity and adornment” (v. 40), and also because, to avoid unseemliness, the priest put these on by himself, unlike the vestments, into which he is helped by others (v. 41).
