Other Garments

Leviticus 6:8-11 (ESV Strong's)

8 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering. The burnt offering shall be on the hearth on the altar all night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment and put his linen undergarment on his body, and he shall take up the ashes to which the fire has reduced the burnt offering on the altar and put them beside the altar. 11 Then he shall take off his garments and put on other garments and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

Jesus was wrapped in linen grave clothes and placed in the tomb as our burnt offering of atonement. There in the darkness of death He would lie until His resurrection as the morning star of creation. 

Having performed this offering as our high priest, He left behind His grave clothes, folded the cloth that had veiled His face and rose with the new garment of the first resurrected body.

The body of Christ of today will undergo the same resurrection as we follow Jesus to that clean place of pure light. Jesus will give us the morning star if we remain in Him until the end.
