### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the story of Jehu, the vestry is the room in Baal's temple where the robes for Baal's worshippers were stored. Interpretation: Jehu used this to tell Baal's worshippers apart from others before he destroyed them, and the tradition sees it as a harsh end to idol worship in Israel.

### examples

- And he said unto him that was over the vestry: 'Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal.' And he brought them forth vestments. (Prophets 2KI.10.22, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/V/vestry/#x1)
