Lévitique 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:19

And the flesh that toucheth any unclean [thing] shall not
be eaten
That is, the flesh of the peace offerings; should it be touched by any unclean person, man or woman; that was so in a ceremonial sense, being profluvious or menstruous, or having touched anything unclean, or touched by any unclean creature, as a dog or the like, as it might be while carried from the tabernacle to any of their tents or houses:

it shall be burnt with fire;
that no profit might be had of it; and this was to make them careful in carrying it from place to place:

and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof;
that are clean in a ceremonial sense; as all that are clean in an evangelic sense, through the blood and righteousness of Christ, may, by faith, eat his flesh and drink his blood. Jarchi observes, that whereas it is said, ( Deuteronomy 12:27 ) "thou shall eat the flesh"; some might object and say, that none might eat of the peace offerings but the owners of them, therefore it is said here, "all that be clean shall eat"; not the owners only, nor the priests and Levites only, but whoever the offerer should invite to eat thereof, provided he was but clean.

Lévitique 7:19 In-Context

17 Ce qui restera de la chair de la victime sera brûlé au feu le troisième jour.
18 Dans le cas où l'on mangerait de la chair de son sacrifice d'actions de grâces le troisième jour, le sacrifice ne sera point agréé; il n'en sera pas tenu compte à celui qui l'a offert; ce sera une chose infecte, et quiconque en mangera restera chargé de sa faute.
19 La chair qui a touché quelque chose d'impur ne sera point mangée: elle sera brûlée au feu.
20 Tout homme pur peut manger de la chair; mais celui qui, se trouvant en état d'impureté, mangera de la chair du sacrifice d'actions de grâces qui appartient à l'Eternel, celui-là sera retranché de son peuple.
21 Et celui qui touchera quelque chose d'impur, une souillure humaine, un animal impur, ou quoi que ce soit d'impur, et qui mangera de la chair du sacrifice d'actions de grâces qui appartient à l'Eternel, celui-là sera retranché de son peuple.
