Compare all

8 Therefore you shall consecrate him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for ^aI the Lord, who ^bsanctify you, am holy.

9 The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be ^aburned with fire.

10 ‘He who is the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was ^apoured and who is consecrated to wear the garments, shall not ^buncover his head nor tear his clothes;

11 nor shall he go ^anear any dead body, nor defile himself for his father or his mother;

12 ^anor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the ^bconsecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord.

13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

Leviticus 21:10

The garments - Those holy garments, which were peculiar to him. Shall not uncover his head - This being then the posture of mourners, Leviticus 10:6, though afterwards the custom was changed and mourners covered their heads, II Samuel 15:30, Esther 6:12. Nor rent his clothes - Another expression of mourning.
