Leviticus 21:4-7 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Doth not the Reader discern somewhat in these which point to JESUS? Surely in all these appointments respecting ceremonial uncleanness among the priests, the peculiarity of the law for them only, plainly intimates that it represents him, and his spotless purity, who is the priest of his people forever, and is untainted with either moral or ceremonial uncleanness. Hebrews 8:13.

Leviticus 21:4-7

4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.

5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God.
