Leviticus 21:10

Context
Rules for the High Priest

21:10 “‘The high 1  priest – who is greater than his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured, who has been ordained 2  to wear the priestly garments – must neither dishevel the hair of his head nor tear his garments. 3 

Leviticus 27:28

Context
Things Permanently Dedicated to the Lord

27:28 “‘Surely anything which a man permanently dedicates to the Lord 4  from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the Lord.

1 tn The adjective “high” has been supplied in the translation for clarity, as in many English versions.

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

3 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.”

4 tn Heb “Surely, any permanently dedicated [thing] which a man shall permanently dedicate to the Lord.” The Hebrew term חֵרֶם (kherem) refers to things that are devoted permanently to the Lord (see the note on v. 21 above).
