Here, three distinct types of vestments are clearly identified, as previously described in chapter XXV. They include the high priest's ceremonial garments, which are richly adorned: the ephod with its breastplate, the upper robe, the chiton, the kidar with its plaque, and the belt. The sacred attire of the high priest consists of a white chiton and kidar, paired with a white belt. Additionally, there are the garments worn by other priests, also made of white material but featuring a colorful belt, resembling those of the high priest yet distinguished by a headband in place of a kidar.
