Fine Linen
Fine Linen (Purity)
The linen was most interesting. Made from Egyptian flax, it was finely woven,
brilliantly white, and bore a special name, "byssus". This material was used
for garments for royalty and persons of rank and has been found in the tombs of
the Pharaohs. Linen in one tomb was found to have 152 threads per inch in the
warp and 72 threads per inch in the woof. The fine-twined, white linen speaks of
righteousness and typifies Jesus, the Son of Man, spotless, pure, and sinless.
