Juda's Reference to the Filthy Garments

The wording in zechariah three is connected with the words saa and soa. Those are hebrew terms which are most often used to refer to human excrement. It can refer to drunkard's vomit ortifrgent wickedness. Jude interprets the filthy garments to mean clothes which have been soiled by the body. This garment was the garment worn next to the skin. The picture is therefore a vivid and intentionally unpleasant one, writes balcam.
