"The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. The scripture says (Jeremiah 10:7), 'Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?' The Lord said to Jeremiah, 'But am I not the King of Israel?' Jeremiah replied, 'Because You have said to me (Jeremiah 1:5), "I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations," therefore I call You the King of the nations.'

'Go and take possession of the kingship,' said the Lord. 'The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty.' Rabbi Chanina said, 'You have a garment that is becoming to You, but Your garment does not become You.' But the Holy One, blessed be He, has a garment that is becoming to Him and His garment becomes Him, as it is said, 'The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty.'

The Lord has seven garments. One is for the war with the sea, as it is said, 'The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty' - this is the war with the sea, as it is said (Exodus 15:1), 'I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted.' One is for the war of Sinai, as it is said (Psalm 29:11), 'The Lord will give strength to His people.' This corresponds to the strength that He gave to His people at Sinai.

One is for the war of Babylon, as it is said (Isaiah 59:17), 'He put on garments of vengeance for clothing.' And so it says (Jeremiah 46:10), 'For it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for His Temple.' One is for the war of Media, as it is said (Isaiah 61:10), 'He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me in a robe of righteousness.' And so it says (Esther 8:15), 'And Mordechai went out from the king's presence.'

One is for the war of Greece, as it is said (Isaiah 59:17), 'And He put on righteousness like a breastplate.' So too, the Hasmoneans were dressed in garments of zeal. One is for the war of Edom, as it is said (Isaiah 63:1), 'Who is this who comes from Edom, with garments of glowing colors?' And the seventh is for the days of the Messiah, as it is said (Daniel 7:9), 'His clothing was white as snow.'"
