Levítico 22:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:13

But if the priest's daughter be a widow or divorced
If her husband be dead, or if living, and she is put away by him, whether a Levite, or an Israelite: and have no child:
by him, as the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi add, nor is with child by him: and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat
of her father's meat;
not of all, or any part, only of some, of the heave offering, but not of the shoulder or breast, which is the tradition of the wise men, as Maimonides ^F13 relates. There are two cases in this affair excepted by them, which they suppose are implied in this clause; the one is, if she is detained and reserved for her husband's brother, according to the law in ( Deuteronomy 25:5 ) ; she being without children; and so the Targum of Jonathan adds,

``and is not kept or reserved for her husband's brother,''

which is implied by her being returned to her father's house; and the other is, if she is with child; for though she had no children by her husband, yet if she is pregnant, that made her unlawful to eat of the holy things; for then she is not as in her youth ^F14. The Jewish canon concerning such a person runs thus ^F15; the daughter of a priest, married to an Israelite, may not eat of the heave offering; if he dies, and she has a son by him, she may not eat of the heave offering; if she is married to a Levite, she may eat of the tithes: if he dies, and she has a son by him, she may eat of the tithes: if she is married to a priest, she may eat of the heave offering; if he dies, and she has a son by him, she may eat of the heave offering; if her son by the priest dies, she may not eat of the heave offering; if her son by the Levite dies, she may not eat of the tithes; if her son by an Israelite, she may return to her father's house, as it is said ( Leviticus 22:13 ) ; but there shall no stranger eat thereof;
as not anyone of another nation, so not anyone of another family beside the priest's, no, not the son of a priest's daughter by an Israelite, which some think is principally intended; and so Aben Ezra remarks this is said of a son, if she had any, and upon whose account she herself might not eat.

Levítico 22:13 In-Context

11 Mas aquele que o sacerdote tiver comprado com o seu dinheiro, e o nascido na sua casa, esses comerão do seu pão.

12 Se a filha de um sacerdote se casar com um estranho, ela não comerá da oferta alçada das coisas sagradas.

13 Mas quando a filha do sacerdote for viúva ou repudiada, e não tiver filhos, e houver tornado para a casa de seu pai, como na sua mocidade, do pão de seu pai comerá; mas nenhum estranho comerá dele.

14 Se alguém por engano comer a coisa sagrada, repô-la-á, acrescida da quinta parte, e a dará ao sacerdote como a coisa sagrada.

15 Assim não profanarão as coisas sagradas dos filhos de Israel, que eles oferecem ao Senhor,
