Verse 26
The priest - shall eat it - From the expostulation of Moses with Aaron, Leviticus 10:17 , we learn that the priest, by eating the sin-offering of the people, was considered as bearing their sin, and typically removing it from them: and besides, this was a part of their maintenance, or what the Scripture calls their inheritance; see Ezekiel 44:27-30 . This was afterwards greatly abused; for improper persons endeavored to get into the priest's office merely that they might get a secular provision, which is a horrible profanity in the sight of God. See 1 Samuel 2:36 ; Jeremiah 23:12 ; Ezekiel 34:2-4 ; and Hosea 4:8 .
