Revelation 1:13 Douay-Rheims

And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Adam Clarke

1762–1832 Methodist

Like unto the Son of man - This seems a reference to Dan 7:13. This was our blessed Lord himself, Rev 1:18. Clothed with a garment down to the foot - This is a description of the high priest, in his sacerdotal robes. See these described at large in the notes on Exo 28:4, etc., Jesus is our high priest, even in heaven. He is still discharging the sacerdotal functions before the throne of God. Golden girdle - The emblem both of regal and sacerdotal dignity.
