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

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - Leviticus 22:27

seven days: It was necessary for the mother's health that the young one should suck so long; and prior to this time, the process of nutrition in a young animal can scarcely be considered as completely formed. Besides this, it may justly be asserted, that the flesh of very young animals is comparatively innutritive.
