High-priest] The High-priest might not mourn for the dead, though of his neerest kindred; in this he was differenced from the inferiour Priests; as also, first, in that they ministred daily, he but on the solemn day of expiation; Secondly, the holy anointing oyle was poured on his head, Chap. 8. vers. 11. the rest were but sprinkled, and that not with pure oyle, but with oyle mingled with blood, vers. 30. Thirdly, he had eight holy garments, they not so many, nor any so glorious as some of his. The High Priests refraining from mourning, and funeralls, was apishly followed by the Devils priests.
