G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 22:1-33

Instructions already given are now repeated with greater detail and wider application. Not only must the priest himself be free from blemish and defilement, he must see to it that all that which he offered was to be of h e same character. Yet again, he was not to exercise hospitality toward those who were unclean or strangers to the covenant of the things which pertained to the House of his God. These stringent instructions closed with a reaffirmation of the reason, which had been given in... read more

Eligibility To Eat of Holy Things (Leviticus 22:10-16 ). Leviticus 22:10 “There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.” Those not of priestly stock may not eat of a holy thing, whether they be visitors or hired servants. Leviticus 22:11 “But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.” But permanent members of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 22:9-16

Leviticus 22:9-Nehemiah : . Rules for Priests’ Families, etc.— A priest’ s slave is a member of his family, and may eat of the dues; a hired servant or a guest is not. Nor is a married daughter, unless she returns, a childless widow, to her father’ s house. Infringement by a layman of the rules for holy things means a guilt offering ( Leviticus 5:15), i.e. restoration of an equally valuable object plus one-fifth. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 22:16

i.e. They, i.e. the priests shall not (the negative particle being understood out of the foregoing clause, as Psalms 1:5; Psalms 9:18 suffer them, i.e. the people, to bear the iniquity of trespass, i.e. the punishment of their sin, which they might expect from God, and for the prevention whereof the priest was to see restitution made, &c. The words may be rendered thus, But (so the Hebrew vau is oft translated) they, i.e. the priests, shall make them, i.e. the people, to bear the iniquity,... read more

Priestly Privileges Forfeited by UncleannessSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 22:1.—Profane not My holy name in those things which they hallow unto Me. Holy things must not be touched with unclean hands. What God hallows should be revered. To treat heedlessly any sacred thing profanes that Name with which it has become associated. If this applied to the altar offerings of the ancient tabernacle, surely it applies to our holy things—the Scriptures, the Sanctuary, the Lord’s Day; for the Divine Name... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:1-33

Chapter 22Now in the twenty-second chapter he deals with the priests and the things that they could eat. You see the things that were brought in sacrifice; a portion of them became meat for the priest. So the qualifications now are the rules regarding the sacrifices that he ate, only the priest and his family could eat them. They were not to give them out to strangers, or if he had company, he wasn't to offer to the company the food that had been offered as a sacrifice to God, that was his... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 22:1-33

Leviticus 22:4. Unclean. The injunctions in this and the following verses, though not literally binding on christians, yet the holy law from whence they emanate is not to be disregarded. Every infirmity which kept a Jew from the synagogue, does not debar a christian from the church. With regard also to bodily purity, the christian law requires every one to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour. Leviticus 22:10. No stranger shall eat of holy things. Nor were they allowed to... read more

Or suffer them. ] From my "other men’s sins," good Lord deliver me, said one: have we not enough of our own to answer for?
