They were told it had an eschatological value and allowed men to devote all their time to the work at hand.
I have seldom if ever met a priest who worked as hard and as diligently as my late mother and father.
As for eschatology.
Well, who knows anything about that?

Michael, Isaiah 8 is often associated with our current Corona time:
A Believing Remnant
9“Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered;
And give ear, all remote places of the earth.
Gird yourselves, yet be shattered;
Gird yourselves, yet be shattered.
10“Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted;
State a proposal, but it will not stand,
For God is with us.”
11For thus the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12“You are not to say, ‘It is a conspiracy!’
In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy,
And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.
13“It is the LORD of hosts whom you should regard as holy.
And He shall be your fear,
And He shall be your dread.
14“Then He shall become a sanctuary;
But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over,
And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15“Many will stumble over them,
Then they will fall and be broken;
They will even be snared and caught.”
