Rules for the High Priest

21:10 “‘The high ⁹  priest – who is greater than his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, who has been ordained ¹⁰  to wear the priestly garments – must neither dishevel the hair of his head nor tear his garments. ¹¹

[16:32]  ¹ tn Heb “And the priest whom he shall anointed him and whom he shall fill his hand to act as priest under his father.” Imperfect active verbs are often used as passives (see, e.g., v. 27 above and the note on Lev 14:4).

[28:42]  ² tn Heb “naked flesh” (so NAB, NRSV); KJV “nakedness.”

[28:42]  ³ tn Heb “be.”

[29:29]  ⁴ tn The construction is an infinitive construct with a lamed (ל) preposition. The form simply means “for anointing,” but it serves to express the purpose or result of their inheriting the sacred garments.

[29:29]  ⁵ tn This form is a Piel infinitive construct with a lamed (ל) preposition. It literally reads “for filling the hands,” the idiom used throughout this chapter for ordination or installation. Here too it has a parallel use of purpose or result.

[29:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “after him”; NCV, NLT “after Aaron.”

[29:30]  ⁷ tn The text just has the relative pronoun and the imperfect tense. It could be translated “who comes/enters.” But the context seems to indicate that this would be when he first comes to the tent to begin his tenure as High Priest, and so a temporal clause makes this clear. “First” has been supplied.

[29:30]  ⁸ tn “Seven days” is an adverbial accusative of time. The ritual of ordination is to be repeated for seven days, and so they are to remain there in the court in full dress.

[21:10]  ⁹ tn The adjective “high” has been supplied in the translation for clarity, as in many English versions.

[21:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he has filled his hand.” For this expression see the note on Lev 8:33.

[21:10]  ¹¹ tn Regarding these signs of mourning see the note on Lev 10:6. His head had been anointed (v. 10a) so it must not be unkempt (v. 10b), and his garments were special priestly garments (v. 10a) so he must not tear them (v. 10b). In the translation “garments” has been employed rather than “clothes” to suggest that the special priestly garments are referred to here; cf. NRSV “nor tear his vestments.”

[20:26]  ¹² tn The word “priestly” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[20:26]  ¹³ tn Heb “will be gathered”; this is a truncated form of the usual expression “gathered to his ancestors,” found in v. 24. The phrase “to his ancestors” is supplied in the translation here.
