This article gives a list of the high priests (Kohen Gadol) of ancient Israel up to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. Because of a lack of historical data, this list is incomplete and there may be gaps. A traditional list of the Jewish High Priests. The High Priests, like all Jewish priests, belonged to the Aaronic line.
The high priest is the chief of all the priests; he should be anointed and invested with the priestly garments; but if the sacred oil were not obtainable, [36] investiture with the additional four garments is regarded as sufficient. [37] A high priest so invested is known as merubbeh begadim.
The robe of the High Priest as created by the Temple Institute. The priestly robe (Hebrew: מְעִיל, romanized: məʿīl), sometimes robe of the ephod (מְעִיל הָאֵפֹוד məʿīl hāʾēp̄ōḏ), is one of the sacred articles of clothing of the High Priest of Israel. The robe is described in Exodus 28:31-35.
The Torah provides for specific vestments to be worn by the priests when they are ministering in the Tabernacle. [19] The high priest wore eight holy garments (bigdei kodesh). Of these, four were of the same type worn by all priests and four were unique to the high priest.
The garments of the Israelite priests and high priests are described, and prescribed, in detail in Leviticus. For the high priest these include a priestly tunic, linen undergarments, sash, robe, priestly turban, ephod (with Urim and Thummim), and a priestly breastplate with 12 stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel.
In the Book of Leviticus when Moses consecrates Aaron and his sons as High Priest and priests, respectively, the linen undergarments are not mentioned (Leviticus 8:7, Leviticus 8:13), [3] though their use is obviously presumed. There were four holy garments worn by both the priests and the High Priest alike:
The High Priest wearing the sacred vestments, the ends of the Avnet are shown in red hanging at his feet. The kohen on one knee beside him is wearing the avnet wound around his waist. The priestly sash or girdle (Hebrew אַבְנֵט avnet) was part of the ritual garments worn by Jewish high priests who served in the Temple in Jerusalem.
The priest on one knee beside him is wearing it wrapped conically, which was called a mig̲bāʿā. Another view of the turban. The priestly mitre or turban (Hebrew: מִצְנֶפֶת, romanized: miṣnep̄eṯ) was the head covering worn by the High Priest of Israel when he served in the Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem.
