Haydock's commentary
Strange gods, which his servants had reserved in the plundering of Sichem; perhaps he had also been informed of Rachel's theft. (Du Hamel)
Garments; put on your cleanest and best attire, to testify the purity with which you ought to approach to the service of God. (Menochius)
See Exodus xix. 10; Leviticus xv. 13.
