Leviticus21:10

10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oyl was poured , and that is consecrated to put on the garments , shall not uncover his head , nor rent his clothes z.

Levit. 8. 11. Which was onely sprinkled upon inferiour Priests, blood also being mixed with it, Lev. 8. 30.

To wit, those holy garments, which were peculiar to him as well as those common to others.

This being then the posture of mourners, Lev. 10. 6. though afterwards the custom was changed and mourners covered their heads, 2 Sam. 15. 30. E[illegible: 1+ letters]. 6. 12. Or i[illegible: 1+ letters] this custom was now in use, the meaning may be he shall not put off the Priestly covering or miter, which was necessary for him to do if he had put on the mourners covering upon his head, otherwise the holy covering had been defiled, but he shall continue in the exercise of his office, which is signified by keeping on his Priestly garments.
