Levítico 22:2 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:2

Speak unto Aaron and to his sons
The priests; the children of Israel or the common people are not mentioned, as having no concern in the following laws about eating holy things: that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of
Israel;
both from offering their lawful sacrifices, which was the business of their office when pure, and chiefly from eating that part of them which was their due, and was allowed them; neither of these they were to do, particularly the latter, when they were in any uncleanness, as the following words show: and that, they profane not my holy name [in those things] which they
hallow unto me;
which the children of Israel set apart and devoted to his service; which they would do, by eating their part of them when unclean, and thereby show little reverence to that holy name to which they were devoted; or which the priests themselves sanctified, by offering them to him; for Jarchi says, this takes in the holiness of the priests themselves; but the former seems best, and is confirmed in ( Leviticus 22:3 ) : I [am] the Lord;
who is holy himself, and whose holy things these are, and will be sanctified by those that draw nigh unto him.

Levítico 22:2 In-Context

1 El Señor
le dijo a Moisés:

2 «Diles a Aarón y a sus hijos que sean muy cuidadosos con las ofrendas sagradas que los israelitas apartan para mí, a fin de que no deshonren mi santo nombre. Yo soy el Señor
.

3 Dales las siguientes instrucciones: en todas las generaciones futuras, si alguno de los descendientes de ustedes está ceremonialmente impuro cuando se acerque a las ofrendas sagradas que el pueblo de Israel le consagra al Señor
, esta persona tendrá que ser excluida de mi presencia. Yo soy el Señor
.

4 »Si algún descendiente de Aarón tiene una enfermedad de la piel
o cualquier clase de secreción que lo haga ceremonialmente impuro, no se le permite comer de las ofrendas sagradas hasta que haya sido declarado puro. También quedará impuro al tocar un cadáver o al tener una emisión de semen

5 o al tocar un animal pequeño que sea impuro o al tocar a alguien que por algún motivo esté ceremonialmente impuro.
