2R. Eleazar said: ‘Nimrod used to entice people into idolatrous worship by means of those garments, which enabled him to conquer the world and proclaim himself its ruler, so that mankind offered him worship.

3R. Simeon said: ‘Our colleagues are acquainted with a profound mystery concerning these garments.’
