Having spoken to the priests, the Lord now turn to the high priest. He is subject to even great degrees of strictness because he is set apart even from other priests. The high priest was the one who mediated in the sanctuary; he entered into the most holy place; he had the special service of anointing (Leviticus 8:12); and he wore unique clothing (Leviticus 8:6–9).
10 Le sacrificateur qui a la supériorité sur ses frères, sur la tête duquel a été répandue l'huile d'onction, et qui a été consacré et revêtu des vêtements sacrés, ne découvrira point sa tête et ne déchirera point ses vêtements.
