This argument that a pagan did it really is not a good argument. Using this verse then it should be wrong to wear fine linen.
Also it should be wrong to be a king hmmmm. Pharoah had chariots long before Israel had a king and chariots. We can look all day at what pagans did and end up walking around stark naked if we use this logic.
BTW Israel worshiped on the Sabbath. Pagans worshiped on Sunday. Therefore we should not worship on Sunday.
Does anyone think the high priest went to hell?
