BrTrAnd the priest that is chief among his brethren, the oil having been poured upon the head of the anointed one, and he having been consecrated to put on the garments, shall not take the mitre off his head, and shall not rend his garments:

ULTAnd the great priest among his brothers, who has had the oil of anointing poured upon his head and has had his hand filled to wear the garments, he must not let his head be unbound and he must not tear his clothes.

USTThe high priest is the one among his relatives who has been appointed for that work by having his head anointed with olive oil. He is also the one who has been appointed to wear the garments that are made and set apart for the honor of Yahweh. He must not allow the hair on his head to remain uncombed, and he must not tear his clothes when he is mourning for someone.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

21:10-15 The restrictions made on the common priests (21:1-4) applied even more stringently to the high priest because he had to represent all Israel, including the other priests.
• The priest must never leave his hair uncombed or tear his clothing in mourning, so that he would always be fit to minister. Although the common priest was permitted to marry a widow, the high priest was allowed to marry only a virgin. This made certain that the future high priest and the common priests descended from that union would have an unquestioned lineage (21:15).

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “on whose head the priests poured anointing oil”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּמִלֵּ֣א אֶת־ יָד֔וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,priest the,highest among,brothers,his which/who poured on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head oil the,anointing and,he_ordained DOM his/its=hand to,wear DOM the,garments DOM his/its=head not dishevel and,clothes,his not tear )

This expression is an idiom that means to induct someone into the ministry and responsibilities of the priesthood. 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”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־ רֹאשׁ⁠וֹ֙ לֹ֣א יִפְרָ֔ע וּ⁠בְגָדָ֖י⁠ו לֹ֥א יִפְרֹֽם

DOM DOM DOM his/its=head not dishevel and,clothes,his not tear

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”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶת־ רֹאשׁוֹ֙ לֹ֣א יִפְרָ֔ע

DOM DOM DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,priest the,highest among,brothers,his which/who poured on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=head oil the,anointing and,he_ordained DOM his/its=hand to,wear DOM the,garments DOM his/its=head not dishevel and,clothes,his not tear )

Here, head represents the hair on the head. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his hair he shall not let be unbound” or “he shall not let his hair be disheveled”
