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 Habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

2 Di a Aarón y a sus hijos que tengan cuidado con las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel me consagran, para que no profanen mi santo nombre; yo soy el SEÑOR.

3 Diles: "Si alguno de entre vuestros descendientes en todas vuestras generaciones, se acerca a las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel consagran al SEÑOR, estando inmundo, esa persona será cortada de mi presencia. Yo soy el SEÑOR.

4 "Ningún varón de los descendientes de Aarón que sea leproso, o que tenga flujo, podrá comer de las cosas sagradas hasta que sea limpio. Y si alguno toca alguna cosa contaminada por un cadáver, o si un hombre tiene una emisión seminal,

5 si alguno toca ciertos animales por los cuales se pueda contaminar, o a cualquier hombre que lo contamine, cualquiera que sea su inmundicia,
