פּירוש אויף ויקרא 21:10

“The priest who is exalted above his fellows” [21:10]. The high priest must keep himself much holier than the ordinary priest. He should not become impure to any corpse, not even father and mother. He should not marry a widow or divorcee, but only a virgin. The reason that he should not marry a widow or divorcee is that he will accustom the virgin to sleeping with him as is appropriate for a high priest. He must maintain his holiness with his wife and the way he accustoms the virgin; she will accept it. However, when he marries a widow or divorcee who are used to sleeping with their first husband all the time, and she will touch the high priest to sleep with her all the time, which will lead the high priest to commit a sin. “The priest who is exalted above his fellows” [21:10]. He should be more important than the other priests in five ways. He must be a handsome man. He must also be strong, wealthy, wise, and have honor. When he is not wealthy, his brothers make him wealthy.⁹Bahya, Leviticus, 21:10.

לא יפרע [THE HAIR OF HIS HEAD] SHALL HE NOT DISARRANGE — i.e. he shall not let his hair grow wild on account of ritual mourning for the death of a near relative (Sifra). And what is called "letting the hair grow wild”? Leaving it uncut for more than 30 days (Sanhedrin 22b).

HE SHALL NOT LET THE HAIR OF HIS HEAD GO LOOSE etc. 11. NEITHER SHALL HE GO IN TO ANY DEAD BODY. The phrase [dealing with his hair, in Verse 10], is connected with any dead body in the following verse, thus stating that the High Priest is not to let his hair go loose nor rend his garments for any dead body, neither is he to enter a tent where there is a corpse.
