Linen & Wool
Well that hukim law that seems so confusing about wearing garments made from wool and linen together ...
It seems that the most likely explanation was that the priests wore garments of wool & linen and that it was to provide for their distinction in the community.
How do we know? Well in Exodus 28:6 it describes the garments for the priests and says that they are to be dyed specific colors. Wool was the fabric that was dyed in that period and so it can be concluded that it was made of wool. AND it says that it would be adorned with linen.
There were many things that were special only for priests, such as a special oil mixture noted in Exodus 30.
It is ok for the priests to be treated special. Remember later they were the ones who didn't get a specific part of the land. The community had to take care of them.
