Leviticus Chapter 22
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they (a) separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name [in those things] which they hallow unto me: I [am] the LORD.
(a) Meaning, that the priests abstain from eating, as long as they are polluted.
Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all your seed among your generations, that (b) goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I [am] the LORD.
(b) To eat of it.
What man soever of the seed of Aaron [is] a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing [that is] (c) unclean [by] the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
(c) By touching any dead thing, or being at burial of the dead.
There shall no (d) stranger eat [of] the holy thing: a (e) sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy thing.
(d) Which is not of the tribe of Levi.
(e) Some read, the servant who had his ear bored, and would not go free, (Exo 21:6).
If the priest's daughter also be [married] unto a (f) stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
(f) Who is not of the priests kindred.
And if a man eat [of] the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the (g) fifth [part] thereof unto it, and shall give [it] unto the priest with the holy thing.
(g) He shall give that and a fifth part over.
Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of (h) trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
(h) For if they did not offer sacrifice for their error, the people by their example might commit the same offence.
Neither (i) from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption [is] in them, [and] blemishes [be] in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
(i) You shall not receive any imperfect thing from a stranger, to make it the Lord's offering: which he calls the bread of the Lord.
Neither shall ye (k) profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which hallow you,
(k) For whoever does otherwise than God commands pollutes his Name.
