Leviticus 22:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:6

The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until
even
Which is the time fixed by the several laws for such uncleannesses, see ( Leviticus 11:31 ) ( Leviticus 15:5 Leviticus 15:7 Leviticus 15:16 ) ; and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with
water;
in forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan; yea, when the evening is come, he may not eat of the heave or wave offerings, until he has dipped himself all over in water; nor should any eat of the Lord's supper under the New Testament, but such as are first baptized in water.

Leviticus 22:6 In-Context

4 And the man of the seed of Aaron the priest, if he should have leprosy or issue of the reins, shall not eat of the holy things, until he be cleansed; and he that touches any uncleanness of a dead body, or the man whose seed of copulation shall have gone out from him,

5 or whosoever shall touch any unclean reptile, which will defile him, or a man, whereby he shall defile him according to all his uncleanness:

6 whatsoever soul shall touch them shall be unclean until evening; he shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his body in water,

7 and the sun go down, and then he shall be clean; and then shall he eat of all the holy things, for they are his bread.

8 He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I the Lord.
