C’est que les lèvres du pontife doivent conserver la science; c’est de sa bouche qu’on réclame la doctrine, car il est un mandataire de l’Éternel-Cebaot.
Sefer HaChinukh
And [it] is practiced in every place and at all times by males and females. Anyone who transgresses it and consecrates an [animal] with a blemish - and even at this time - violates this negative commandment. And from what appears, there would not be lashes with this, since there is no act [involved] with it; but I saw that Rambam, may his memory be blessed, wrote (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Things Forbidden on the Altar 1:2) [that] one who consecrates an [animal] with a blemish is lashed. And maybe he makes it like one who exchanges [a sacrifice] about which there is lashes even though there is no act [involved] with it - as [in that case, we see the impact of his words - since] this and that are consecrated. And to him shall we listen 'and we will seek Torah from his mouth, as he is an angel of the Lord of hosts.'
