According to this verse, God has given the high priest the responsibilities of serving and worshiping him. If this would not be clear to your readers, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and to whom I, Yahweh, have given the responsibilities of the priesthood”

Loose hair and torn clothes were signs of mourning. The high priests of Yahweh were not to mourn for their dead relatives in any way that would disrupt their duties of offering Israel’s sacrifices. If it would be helpful to your readers, consider including this information in a footnote or in the text of your translation. Alternate translation: “he must not allow himself to be distracted from his priestly duties by mourning for his dead relatives”
