Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Leviticus 22:1-33

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

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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 22:1-16

HOLINESS IN THE PRIESTS, Leviticus 21:1 to Leviticus 22:16. Jehovah, having given general statutes to conserve the purity of Israel, now proceeds to legislate for the priests, whose character and conduct are so intimately connected with his declarative glory. The mass of men must very largely obtain their conception of the moral character of God from the moral character of those who minister at his altars and are supposed to be in his favour. A pure religion cannot be promulgated by an impure... read more
