Leviticus 22
A priest, having any uncleanness, must not eat of the holy
things, ver. 1-7. No priest must eat that which dies of itself, or is
torn, ver. 8, 9. No stranger must eat of holy things, ver. 10-13. Of
them that do it ignorantly, ver. 14-16. Sacrifices must be without
blemish, and of a due age, ver. 17-27. Thank offerings must be
eaten the same day, ver. 29, 30. An exhortation to obedience, ver.
31-33.
Verse 2. Separate themselves - When any uncleanness is upon them, as
appears from ver. 3, 4. From the holy things - From eating of
those parts of the offerings, which belong to them. Only of the
tithes they might eat. They - The children of Israel. And it ill
became the priests to profane or pollute what the people did
hallow.
Verse 3. Goeth unto the holy things - To eat them, or to touch them; for
if the touch of one of the people having his uncleanness upon him
defiled the thing he touched, much more was it so in the priest.
Cut off - From my ordinances by excommunication: He shall be
excluded both from the administration, and from the participation
of them.
Verse 7. His food - His portion, the means of his subsistence. This may
be added, to signify why there was no greater nor longer a penalty
put upon the priests than upon the people in the same case,
because his necessity craved some mitigation: tho' otherwise the
priests being more sacred persons, deserved a greater punishment.
Verse 9. Lest they bear sin - Incur guilt and punishment. For it - For the
neglect or violation of it.
Verse 10. No stranger - Of a strange family, who is not a priest; but
there is an exception to this rule, ver. 11. A sojourner - One that
comes to his house and abides there for a season, and eats at his
table.
Verse 12. A stranger - To one of another family, who is no priest. Yet
the priest's wife, though of another family, might eat. The reason
of which difference is, because the wife passeth into the name,
state and privileges of her husband, from whom the family is
denominated.
Verse 14. Unto it - Over and above the principle, and besides the ram to
be offered to God, chap. v, 15. And shall give unto the priest the
holy thing - That is, the worth of it, which the priest was either to
take to himself or to offer to God, as the nature of the thing was.
Verse 15. They - The people shall not profane them, by eating them: or
the priests shall not profane them, that is, suffer the people to
profane them, without censure and punishment.
Verse 16. They - That is, the priests, shall not (the negative particle
being understood out of the foregoing clause) suffer them - That
is, the people, to bear the iniquity of trespass - That is, the
punishment of their sin, which they might expect from God, and
for the prevention whereof the priest was to see restitution made.
Verse 18. Strangers - Such as were proselytes.
Verse 19. A male - For a burnt-offering, which was always of that kind:
but the females were accepted in peace-offerings, and sin-
offerings.
Verse 25. A stranger's hand - From proselytes: even from those, such
should not be accepted, much less from the Israelites. The bread
of your God - That is, the sacrifices.
Verse 28. In one day - Because it favoured of cruelty.
Verse 32. Hallowed, or sanctified, either by you in keeping my holy
commands, or upon you in executing my holy and righteous
judgments. I will manifest myself to be an holy God that will not
bear the transgression of my laws.
