There they shall place the most holy things—the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place is holy. ¹⁴ When the priests enter [the Holy Place], they shall not go out from the sanctuary into the outer court ^[b]unless they lay there their garments in which they minister, for these are holy (set apart). They shall put on other garments before they approach that which is for the people.”
