9<\/strong>. the mitre<\/em> ] turban as R.V. mg. Heb. minpheth<\/em> in Lev. here and Lev 16:4<\/span> (the linen mitre) only: in Exod. (in the cognate passages) Exo 28:4<\/span>; Exo 28:37<\/span>; Exo 28:39<\/span>, Exo 29:6<\/span>, Exo 39:28<\/span>; Exo 39:31<\/span>. It was made of fine linen; tradition describes it as 24 ft. long, so it was probably wound round the head like a turban. Besides the passages quoted, where it denotes the headdress of the high priest, it occurs only in Eze 21:26<\/span> (Heb. 31). ( mitre<\/em> R.V., diadem<\/em> A.V.). Another word ( nph<\/em>) from the same root occurs Isa 62:3<\/span> (’ri), translated ‘diadem,’ in parallelism with the common Heb. word for ‘crown’; and in Zec 3:5<\/span> with reference to the high priest Joshua. It is strange that nph<\/em> should be used in the Zechariah passage to denote a mitre for the high priest, if minpheth<\/em> were already the technical term used for that portion of his attire.<\/p>\n Josephus ( Ant.<\/em> iii. 7. 6) says that the high priest’s mitre was like that of all the other priests, but another word is used (see Lev 8:13<\/em><\/span>) for the head-dress of Aaron’s sons. He describes fully another mitre with a triple golden crown. This was probably an ornament added in later times. Alexander Balas sent a purple robe and a crown of gold to Jonathan which he wore at the Feast of Tabernacles b.c. 153 ( 1Ma 10:20 ). This may be the crown described by Josephus.<\/p>\n upon the mitre, in front<\/em> ] In A.V. ‘upon his forefront,’ ‘his’ refers to the mitre and in modern English would be ‘its.’<\/p>\n the golden plate, the holy crown<\/em> ] The golden plate is described Exo 28:36-37<\/span>. The Heb. word ( <\/em>), translated ‘plate,’ implies something bright and glittering, and is elsewhere used of a flower. The plate was fastened by its lace of blue to the turban (Exo 28:37<\/span>, Exo 39:31<\/span>) and would appear as an ornament or diadem in the headgear of the high priest. It is called ‘the holy crown’ in Exo 29:6<\/span>, and here both names are given to it. The same combination occurs in Exo 39:30<\/span> where the English ‘the plate of the holy crown of pure gold’ conveys the impression that the ‘plate’ and the ‘crown’ are different instead of synonymous.<\/p>\n Verse 9<\/span>. And he put the mitre<\/B><\/I>] See Clarke on <\/span>Ex 28:36<\/span><\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n This here added, either because Nadab and Abihu had been led to their error by drinking too much, which might easily fall out when they were feasting and full of joy for their entrance into so honourable and profitable an employment; or at least because others might thereby be drawn to commit the same miscarriages, which they might now commit from other causes. Drunkenness is so odious a sin in itself, especially a minister, and most of all in the time of his administration of sacred things, that God saw fit to prevent all occasions of it. And hence the devil, who is Gods ape in his prescriptions for his worship, required this abstinence from his priests in their idolatrous service. <\/P> <\/p>\n And he put the mitre upon his head<\/strong>,…. Which was made of fine linen, and was a wrap of that of a considerable length about his head, Ex 28:39<\/span><\/p>\n also upon the mitre, [even] upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate<\/strong>; which was put upon the forehead of the high priest, reaching from ear to ear, and was fastened to the mitre with a blue lace, and had on it this inscription, “holiness to the Lord”:<\/p>\n Ex 28:36<\/span> and is here therefore called<\/p>\n the holy crown<\/strong>: denoting both the sanctity and the dignity of the high priest, and typical of Christ, who is holiness itself, and to his people, and is now crowned with glory and honour, being a priest upon the throne: hence the Jews u speak of the crown of the law, and of the crown of the kingdom, and of the crown of the priesthood: and this, as all the rest, was done<\/p>\n as the Lord commanded Moses<\/strong>; all these were made according to the divine order, and were put on in the manner and form he directed him; of the mystery of the mitre and the crown, [See comments on Ex 28:39]<\/span> [See comments on Ex 28:36]<\/span> [See comments on Ex 28:37]<\/span>.<\/p>\n u Pirke Abot, c. 4. sect. 13.<\/p>\n (9) And he put the mitre.<\/strong>See Exo. 28:36-38<\/span>.<\/p>\n 9<\/strong>. <\/strong> The mitre <\/strong> This was a turban, <\/em> since its Hebrew name is from a verb signifying to wind about. This was a very splendid head-covering, worn only by pontiffs and kings, (Eze 21:26<\/span>,) as an emblem of dignity, styled in Sir 45:12 , “an ornament of honour, a costly work, the desire of the eyes.” <\/p>\n The holy crown <\/strong> It was called holy <\/strong> because it had the tetragrammaton the four-lettered Hebrew word for Jehovah inscribed upon it. Exo 28:36<\/span>. It was of fine linen, with a fillet of blue lace, symbolizing heaven, and over it a golden diadem, “on which,”<\/p>\n says Josephus, “blossomed a golden calyx like the flower of the henbane.” The engraved golden plate <\/strong> was a gold band, two fingers broad, tied behind with blue lace embroidered with flowers. It bore the inscription, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.<\/p>\n Reader! observe what the church saith concerning the crowning of the LORD JESUS, in the day of his espousals, and this will be the best explanation of this verse of scripture.
