[QUOTE="Rajs, post: 2245, member: 327"] Dear Sevadaar, 1. In the Old Testament of the Bible, the High Priest’s garments were to set him apart and declare his special status before God. The Priest’s clothes were for dignity and honor. [size=3]"Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons… So they may serve Me as priests. Make Sacred garments for your brother Aaron, to give him dignity and honor.”(Exodus 28:1)[/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]Now, the garments mentioned above were not for all, but only for the Priest, and not restricted to turban (mitre) alone. These sacred garments included a breast-piece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, and a sash.[/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]There is no mention of any significance of a turban in the Bible but some interpret it to be a distinguish mark of the Priest, as the religious head of people, others see it as a symbol of priest’s obedience and submission to God, in line with 1 Corinthians 11:3-10, where covering of woman’s head in the assembly of church elders reflects submission to authority.[/size] [color=black][font='Times New Roman'] [/font][/color] [size=3]What, perhaps, is of more significant than the turban is the sacred diadem (plate of pure gold) that was fastened on it. The diadem was engraved with words “HOLY TO THE LORD”. (Exodus 28-38, 29:6)[/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]2. As for the rules regarding hair, once again this was only for the Priest, not for all Israelites. A priest was neither allowed to grow long hair, nor allowed to shave his head. A priest was asked to trim the hair of his head. [/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]I think the probable reasons for the Priest to not have long hair could be that only a “Nazirite” was asked to keep uncut hair (Numbers 6:1-21)[/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]The reason for the Priests to not shave his head could be because head shaving was required for a person suffering from some infectious disease, and thus, was a sign of uncleanness. (Leviticus 14:8, Numbers 6:9)[/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]Therefore, trimmed hair was required for the priests because they were not Nazirites (so couldn’t keep long hair) and shaving of head represented uncleanness (whereas The Priest was Holy to God). The Priests wore Turban (mitre) with the sacred diadem only when they represented the Israelites before God. (Ezekiel 44:19)[/size] [size=3] [/size] [size=3]Regards[/size] [size=3]Rajs[/size] [/QUOTE]
