The Priests of the Nation were Given Purple Robes with other Vibrant Colors Adorning It, considered only as the finest of linens. Because the priests of the levitical tribe didn't get any land of their own, they still received the meat offerings & the tithes, which allowed them to eat better then most in the whole land. They lived the Wealthy Lifestyle, received the best seats at dinner, friendship from everyone they encountered, respect, and most of all popularity, from every tribe in Israel.

Wisdom of Solomon 16:12 - “For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.”

The dogs licking wounds is symbolic of -- the Pastors(Priests) - His watchmen are blind, They are all ignorant; They are all dumb dogs...They cannot bark; Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yes, they are greedy dogs Which never have enough. And they are shepherds Who cannot understand; They all look to their own way, Every one for his own gain...
