St. Jerome compares it with the Roman caracalla , which was a sort of short cloak , only that it had a head or hood , which the ephod had not

The kethoneth , or coat , was made of linen; but the form of it is no where described in Scripture , except in the visionary appearance of Christ to St. John , in the form and habit of a priest (

  • Revelation 1:13 ); where he is said to be וםהוהץלוםןע נןהחסח , "clothed with a garment down to the feet ," which perfectly agrees with the description the Jewish writers give of it; who also say , that it had sleeves which came down to the wrist , and was tied about the neck; so that it was not unlike a long shirt. It was common to all the priests; but the tunic of the high priest was made of finer linen , or wove in a more curious manner

Part of the blood was applied , not as that of the sin offering , to the horns of the altar , but to Aaron and his sons; to the tips of their right ears , the thumbs of their right hands , and the great toes of their right feet . implying their obligation to hearken diligently to the word of God . to do his work in the best manner which they could , and to walk in his ways with steady perseverance; and also , that they could not do these things acceptably except through the atoning blood , received and applied by faith. Then part of the blood reserved upon the altar , probably in a basin for that purpose , was mingled with the holy anointing oil , and sprinkled on the garments both of Aaron and his sons , to hallow them to the Lord. "This may be looked upon as a lively representation of our purification by the blood of jesus Christ , through his Holy Spirit." . Bp. Patrick
