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 None of the line of Aaron who is a leper or suffers a discharge may eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean through contact with the dead or a man who has had an emission of semen,
5 and whoever touches a creeping thing by which he may be made unclean or a man from whom he may take uncleanness, whatever his uncleanness may be--
6 the person who touches any such shall be unclean until the evening and shall not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.
7 When the sun is down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because such are his food.
8 That which dies of itself or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, defiling himself by it: I am the LORD.'
