Le 21:1-24.
OF THE PRIESTS' MOURNING.
1. There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people--The obvious design of the regulations contained in this chapter was to keep inviolate the purity and dignity of the sacred office. Contact with a corpse, or even contiguity to the place where it lay, entailing ceremonial defilement
(Nu 19:14),
all mourners were debarred from the tabernacle for a week; and as the exclusion of a priest during that period would have been attended with great inconvenience, the whole order were enjoined to abstain from all approaches to the dead, except at the funerals of relatives, to whom affection or necessity might call them to perform the last offices. Those exceptional cases, which are specified, were strictly confined to the members of their own family, within the nearest degrees of kindred.

4. 祭司不可为自己沾染不洁——意可充分表达为"不可为其他人沾染"。"祭司在履行圣职时，可被视为他百姓中的首领，而因这些沾染就可谓亵渎了自己"[BISHOP PATRICK]。译作"首领"的那个词也可意为"丈夫"；照另一些人的理解，意思是"但他既是丈夫，就不可因妻子的丧礼而沾染自己"（Eze 44:25）。

4. But he shall not defile himself--"for any other," as the sense may be fully expressed. "The priest, in discharging his sacred functions, might well be regarded as a chief man among his people, and by these defilements might be said to profane himself" [BISHOP PATRICK]. 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"
(Eze 44:25).

5. 不可使头光秃，不可……用刀划身——外邦人在亲友死亡时所奉行的迷信哀伤记号，以及他们放纵其中的暴烈过举，都藉一项普遍的律法向希伯来百姓明加禁止（Le 19:28）。但祭司要受特别的吩咐，不仅是为了在克制忧伤上树立敬虔的榜样，也为了借由约束自己的情感，更合适地向他人施行宗教的安慰，并以他们对有福复活的信心，表明其忧伤不像那些没有指望的人的原因。

5. They shall not make baldness upon their heads . . . nor . . . cuttings in their flesh--The superstitious marks of sorrow, as well as the violent excesses in which the heathen indulged at the death of their friends, were forbidden by a general law to the Hebrew people
(Le 19:28).
But the priests were to be laid under a special injunction, not only that they might exhibit examples of piety in the moderation of their grief, but also by the restraint of their passions, be the better qualified to administer the consolations of religion to others, and show, by their faith in a blessed resurrection, the reasons for sorrowing not as those who have no hope.

7-9. 不可娶妓女或被污的女人为妻——平民百姓可以形成若干种关系，但对于祭司而言，这些是不宜或不当而被禁止的。他们职任的体面和宗教的尊荣，要求他们的家庭以及他们自己有无瑕疵的圣洁；在他们身上偏离这一点，所受的刑罚比别人更重。

7-9. They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane--Private individuals might form several connections, which were forbidden as inexpedient or improper in priests. The respectability of their office, and the honor of religion, required unblemished sanctity in their families as well as themselves, and departures from it in their case were visited with severer punishment than in that of others.

10-15. 弟兄中为大祭司的……不可蓬头散发，也不可撕裂衣裳——上述所提及的家中丧事的例外情形 [Le 21:2, 3]，对普通祭司是许可的，对他却被拒绝；因为他为除去所染的不洁而离开圣所，是不可豁免的，而且他若在礼仪上不洁就不能作百姓的代求者。此外，他职任的崇高尊贵要求个人圣洁上有相应的超越，因此制定了严格的条例，为要维护其地位与家庭的合宜尊严。同样的规则也延伸到基督教传道人的家庭（1Ti 3:2; Tit 1:6）。

10-15. he that is the high priest among his brethren . . . shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes--The indulgence in the excepted cases of family bereavement, mentioned above
[Le 21:2, 3],
which was granted to the common priests, was denied to him; for his absence from the sanctuary for the removal of any contracted defilement could not have been dispensed with, neither could he have acted as intercessor for the people, unless ceremonially clean. Moreover, the high dignity of his office demanded a corresponding superiority in personal holiness, and stringent rules were prescribed for the purpose of upholding the suitable dignity of his station and family. The same rules are extended to the families of Christian ministers
(1Ti 3:2; Tit 1:6).

16-24. 凡有残疾的，都不可近前来献他神的饼——由于可见之物对人心有强烈影响，宗教事奉者身上任何身体上的软弱或畸形，若扰乱联想或惹人发笑，都会有损圣职的分量与权威。有任何身体缺陷的祭司不可在公开事奉中供职；他们可被派在圣所中从事一些次要的职责，却不能履行任何圣事职务。这一切为保持圣洁品格与职任之纯洁无瑕而制定的条例，都有预表上的含义，指向基督的祭司职任（Heb 7:26）。

16-24. Whosoever he be . . . hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God--As visible things exert a strong influence on the minds of men, any physical infirmity or malformation of body in the ministers of religion, which disturbs the associations or excites ridicule, tends to detract from the weight and authority of the sacred office. Priests laboring under any personal defect were not allowed to officiate in the public service; they might be employed in some inferior duties about the sanctuary but could not perform any sacred office. In all these regulations for preserving the unsullied purity of the sacred character and office, there was a typical reference to the priesthood of Christ
(Heb 7:26).
Le 21:1-24。
论祭司的丧事。
1. 祭司不可为民中的死人沾染自己——本章所载条例的明显目的，在于保持圣职的纯洁与尊贵不受侵犯。接触尸体，甚至靠近停尸之处，都会招致礼仪上的不洁（Nu 19:14），因此一切哀悼者在一周之内不得进入会幕；若祭司在那段期间被排除在外，会造成极大的不便，所以整个祭司阶层都被吩咐要避免一切接近死人的事，唯有为亲属举行葬礼时例外——出于亲情或责任，他们可能需要为死者料理后事。这些被特别指出的例外情形，严格限定在他们自己家中、关系最亲近的亲属范围之内。
