KJV ORIGINAL
And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
When the priests finish serving in the temple and head out to where everyone else is, they need to change clothes first. They have to take off their holy service clothes and leave them in the sacred rooms, then put on regular clothes before going out to the people. They can't let their holy garments accidentally make the people sacred just by being around them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even holy things need boundaries — there's a time and place for everything sacred.
