The word rendered “chief man” signifies also “a husband”; and the sense according to others is, “But he being a husband, shall not defile himself by the obsequies of a wife” (Ezekiel 44:25). |
Leviticus 21:4
Being — Or, seeing he is a chief man, for such not only the high — priest, but others also of the inferior priests were. He shall not defile himself for any other person whatsoever.
