Laws relating to the Priesthood and Sacrifice (continued)1-6. The holy things may not be eaten by priests otherwise qualified, but ceremonially unclean, nor by any persons outside the priestly family.10. Stranger] i.e. one not a priest, nor a member of a priest’s family, even though he be an Israelite: see Exodus 29:33. A slave purchased outright is considered to be a member of the family (Leviticus 22:11).14. Unwittingly] not knowing, perhaps, that it was a holy tiling: see on Leviticus 4:2;... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:1-33

THE LAW OF PRIESTLY HOLINESSLeviticus 21:1-24; Leviticus 22:1-33THE conception of Israel as a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, was concretely represented in a threefold division of the people, -the congregation, the priesthood, and the high priest. This corresponded to the threefold division of the tabernacle into the outer court, the holy place, and the holy of holies, each in succession more sacred than the place preceding. So while all Israel was called to be a priestly nation, holy to... read more

CHAPTER 22 1. Care to be exercised in holy things (Leviticus 22:1-16 ) 2. Care in the enforcement of the law of offerings (Leviticus 22:17-33 ) Uncleanness such as mentioned in the first part of the chapter prohibited the partaking of holy things. Strangers who did not belong to the priestly house and even the married daughter of the priest, not living in the priestly household, were not permitted to eat of the offering of the holy things. Holy things have to be used in a reverent and holy... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 22:1-33

NO PROFANING OF SEPARATED THINGS (vv. 1-16) Aaron and his sons were always in close proximity to those things that had been separated for sacred purposes. They were therefore to be careful as to their contact with these things, lest they should profane the name of the Lord. If one had contacted any uncleanness, he must be cleansed from this before touching the holy things. A number of things are listed as to what would make one unclean. This was only ceremonial uncleanness, but is, as we... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:1-33

PENALTIES FOR PEOPLE AND PRIESTS The twentieth chapter is of deep interest as showing what infinite wisdom and love has considered a just punishment for certain crimes. These crimes are still committed in civilized communities but a different view of their treatment seems to exist. Are human governments in modern times wiser and better than this theocracy where Jehovah ruled? Why does not this code obtain in Christian nations, since God has revealed it and such nations are supposed to... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 22:4-9

Though some pollutions here spoken of, were in their nature greater than others; yet it is well to observe, that all equally disqualified from approaching the sanctuary. And what did these things teach, but that our most holy things are only accepted in JESUS? Observe what is said, I the LORD do sanctify them. John 17:19 . read more

Warning Against Profanation of Hallowed Things v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 2. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons that they 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.
