Rules for the High Priest

Psalms 89:20

With my holy oil I have anointed him as king. ⁴ 

[21:10]  ¹ tn The adjective “high” has been supplied in the translation for clarity, as in many English versions.

[21:10]  ² tn Heb “and he has filled his hand.” For this expression see the note on Lev 8:33.

[21:10]  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.”

[89:20]  ⁴ tn The words “as king” are supplied in the translation for clarification, indicating that a royal anointing is in view.
