the priest that is anointed. This phrase is confined to Lev. (Leviticus 4:3; Leviticus 4:5; Leviticus 4:16; Leviticus 6:22) four times. In other portions of the Pentateuch it is "high priest" or "great priest" (Leviticus 21:10; Numbers 35:25; Numbers 35:28, and in Joshua 20:6), after this it is "chief priest" (2 Kings 25:18; 2 Chronicles 19:11; 2 Chronicles 26:20; 2 Chronicles 31:10; Ezra 7:5. Hag. and Zech.)
