Leviticus 22:10-20

10 There shall no straunger eate of the halowed thinges nether a gest of the preastes or an hyred seruaunte.
11 But yf the preast bye any soule with money he maye eate of it and he also that is borne in his housse maye eate of his bred.
12 Yf the preastes doughter be maryed vnto a straunger she maye not eate of the halowed heueofferynges.
13 Notwithstondynge yf the preastes doughter be a wedowe or deuorsed and haueno childe but is returned vnto hir fathers housse agayne she shall eate of hir fathers bred as wel as she dyd in hyr youth. But thereshall no straunger eate there of.
14 Yf a man eate of the halowed thynges vnwyttingly he shall put the fyfte parte there vnto and make good vnto the preast the halowed thynge.
15 And let the preastes see that they defyle not the halowed thynges of the childern of Israel which they haue offered vnto the Lorde
16 lest they lade them selues with mysdoynge and trespace in eatynge their halowed thinges: for I am the Lorde which halowe them.
17 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge:
18 speake vnto Aaron and his sonnes and vnto all the childern of Israel and saye vnto them what soeuer he be of the housse of Israel or straunger in Israel that will offer his offerynge: what soeuer vowe or frewillofferynge it be which they will offer vnto the Lorde for a burntofferynge
19 to reconcyle them selues it must be a male without blemysh of the oxen shepe or gootes.
20 let them offer nothynge that is deformed for they shall gett no fauoure there with.

Leviticus 22:10-20 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 22

In this chapter several laws are delivered out, forbidding the priests to eat of holy things, when in any uncleanness, or at any time what dies of itself, or is torn of beasts, Le 22:1-9; also showing who belonging to the priests might or might not eat of the holy things, Le 22:10-16; and others requiring that whatever offerings were brought by the children, of Israel, they should be perfect and without blemish, Le 22:17-25; and also declaring what age a creature should be of when sacrificed, and the time when thank offerings were to be eaten, Le 22:26-30; concluding with an exhortation to observe the commands of God, and sanctify him, and not profane his name, Le 22:31-33.
