Exodus 28:42 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 28:42
Linen breeches (undergarments) 'to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs.' Even hidden parts must be covered—no nakedness before God. Since the Fall, nakedness represents shame (Genesis 3:7). These linen undergarments picture how Christ's righteousness covers even our most private sins, our hidden shame. Nothing is exposed before God when clothed in Christ. The linen extends 'from loins to thighs'—reproductive/generative capacity is covered, suggesting that even our ability to produce (works) comes from grace-covering.
