avrohom adler asked:
The gemora asks that its a kalv'chomer if one needs the k"g to do the parah that for sure he wears the bigdei kehuna. The Gemora's only answer is 'torach v'casav lah kra.' The rambam and others hold that when the k"g does the parah adumah, he wears the bigdei kohen hedyot. Couldn't we answer the gemora's kasha that the possuk is needed for this chidush that he doesnt wear 8, but rather 4? (w/o complete iyun)

The Kollel replies:
The Rambam in Perush ha'Mishnayos Parah (4:1) writes that we learn that the Kohen Gadol wears four Begadim when he does the Avodos of the Parah from a Gezeirah Shaveh. Presumably, the Gemara did not suggest your answer because it knew the Gezeirah Shaveh.
