Commentary on Leviticus 21:12

Theological / Devotional

Go out of the sanctuary. The common priests each served only for a short time every year; the high priest was on continuous duty. He must be available at all times, hence could not go on a journey. One priest could officiate for another in case of emergency, but no one could officiate for the high priest, though in later times he did have a substitute.
