Exegesis
The imperatives lo yiphrāʿ and lo yiphrōm {לֹא יִפְרָע וְלֹא יִפְרֹם | lōʾ yiphrāʿ ū lōʾ yiphrōm} express a permanent prohibition against disorder and mourning, underlining the high priest’s consecrated separation.
In context — Leviticus 21:10
The high priest who is chief among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil has been poured and who has been consecrated to put on the priestly garments, must not let his hair go unkempt nor tear his garments.
