Haydock's commentary
Vesture. Greek, "enclosure of holiness," peribolen. (Haydock)
His splendid attire of gold and jewels, cast a dazzling light all around. (Calmet)
He was pleased to offer the peace-offering for the king of Egypt, (Bossuet) to honour him, though another priest might have done it. (Haydock)
