This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, Lev_8:12; which was only sprinkled upon inferior priests, blood also being mixed with it, Lev_8:30.



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



Shall not uncover his head; this being then the posture of mourners, Lev_10:6, though afterwards the custom was changed, and mourners covered their heads, 2Sa_15:30 Est_6:12. Or if this custom was now in use, the meaning may be, he shall not put off the priestly covering or mitre, which was necessary for him to do, if he had put on the mourner’s 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.
