Leviticus 22:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:12

If the priest's daughter also be [married] to a stranger
Not to an Heathen, but to any Israelite, that is, a common man, or a layman, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, one that is not a priest; but is married either to a Levite, or an Israelite, as Jarchi: she may not eat of an offering of the holy things;
the heave shoulder or wave breast being removed into another family by marriage, she is not reckoned of her father's family, and so had no more a right to eat of the holy things.

Leviticus 22:12 In-Context

10 "No one outside a priest's family is to eat the holy offering. A foreigner staying with a priest or a hired hand is not to eat the holy offering.

11 But if a priest purchases someone with his money, that person may eat it, and those born in his house may eat his food.

12 If the priest's daughter is married to a man outside a priest's family, she is not to eat from the holy contributions.

13 But if the priest's daughter becomes widowed or divorced, has no children, and returns to her father's house as in her youth, she may share her father's food. But no outsider may share it.

14 If anyone eats a holy offering in error, he must add a fifth to its value and give the holy offering to the priest.
