Leviticus 21:10-15

Here are still more striking references, under the figure of the high priest, to the person and offices of the LORD JESUS. As the high priest had the anointing oil poured upon his head, and thereby typified him on whom the spirit was poured forth without measure, he was thereby so completely separated from his brethren, that in his office he was to know them not. Deuteronomy 33:9. And as the high priest was to marry only a wife in her virginity, who doth not see in this the figure of him who betrothed himself to his church, as a chaste virgin. But let it not be overlooked, while beholding the LORD JESUS thus shadowed out in the typical high priest, that he himself in the days of his flesh, was not, because he could not, from the immaculate holiness of his nature, be subject to any ceremonial uncleanness. He contracted no defilement from intercourse with men, and therefore we find him going among the dead to manifest his power over the bodies of men, when his chief object upon earth was to display the sovereignty of his grace over the souls of sinners, which were dead in trespasses and sins; witness the grave of Lazarus, John 17:26. the widow's son at Nain, Luke 7:11; Luke 7:15 and the daughter of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, Luke 8:55; Luke 8:55.
