combination of Priestly Vestments and Armor of God
Joshua ☧ (man) as pseudo-priest, answering to High Priest Eleazar in Numbers 17. Where else does laying on of hands occur in Israelite tradition?
Melchizedek is melek kohen. Jesus is not a king (highest political figure) but a grunt (the lowest)
garments - qōḏeš beḡeḏ (Ex 28:4) beḡeḏ nāqām (Is 59:17), "tunic" interchangeable with stole (Josephus)
robe - qin'â (Is 59:17) mᵊʿîl
**"like a coat of mail so that it will not tear"**Ex. 28:32 & 39:23
