Jerusalem’s Harlotry

Psalms 45:13-14, similarly describes the Church (Israel, the appointed mother of Christendom) adorned as a bride (so Isaiah 61:10). It is Messiah who provides the wedding garment (Revelation 3:18; Revelation 19:8).
badgers' skin—tahash; others translate, "seal skins." They formed the over-covering of the tabernacle, which was, as it were, the nuptial tent of God and Israel (Exodus 26:14), and the material of the shoes worn by the Hebrews on festival days. (See on Exodus 25:5).
fine linen—used by the priests (Leviticus 6:10); emblem of purity.
