Levitico 17:8 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 17:8

And thou shalt say unto them
To Aaron and his sons, and to the children of Israel, as in ( Leviticus 17:2 ) ;

whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel:
belonging to that nation, and to any of its tribes and families, of whatever age; as a young man or an old man, as the Targum of Jonathan; or of whatsoever rank, class, and condition in life:

or of the strangers which sojourn among you;
that is, of the proselytes among them; not the proselytes of the gate, who were not admitted to offer sacrifice on the altar of the Lord; and if they were, they could not for non-compliance with this law be cut off from the Jewish church and commonwealth, of which they were no part, only suffered to dwell among them, but partook of none of their privileges; but this is to be understood of proselytes of righteousness, such as embraced the Jewish religion, and submitted to all the rituals of it, and had communion with the body of the people, and shared in all the immunities of their civil and church state, and so liable in case of any real practice to be cut off from them:

that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice;
any other sacrifice besides a burnt offering, as a sin offering, or a trespass offering, or a peace offering.

Levitico 17:8 In-Context

6 e acciocchè il sacerdote spanda il sangue di essi sacrificii sopra l’Altare del Signore, all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza; e faccia bruciare il grasso in soave odore al Signore;

7 e non sacrifichino più i lor sacrificii a’ demoni, dietro ai quali sogliono andar fornicando. Questo sia loro uno statuto perpetuo per le lor generazioni.

8 Di’ loro ancora: Se alcuno della casa d’Israele, o de’ forestieri che dimoreranno fra voi, offerisce olocausto, o sacrificio;

9 e non l’adduce all’entrata del Tabernacolo della convenenza, per sacrificarlo al Signore; sia quell’uomo riciso da’ suoi popoli.

10 E SE alcuno della casa d’Israele, o de’ forestieri che dimoreranno fra loro, mangia alcun sangue, io metterò la mia faccia contro a quella persona che avrà mangiato il sangue; e la sterminerò d’infra il suo popolo.
