Levítico 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:7

And when the sun is down he shall be clean
Having washed himself in water, otherwise not, though the sun may be set: and shall afterwards eat of the holy things;
the families of the priests lived upon: because it [is] his food:
his common food, his ordinary diet, that by which he subsists, having nothing else to live upon; this being the ordination of God, that he which ministered about holy things should live on them; and these being his only substance, in compassion to him they were detained from him no longer than the evening; and this was done, to make him careful how he defiled himself, since thereby he was debarred of his ordinary meals.

Levítico 22:7 In-Context

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

6 la persona que toque a cualquiera de éstos quedará inmunda hasta el atardecer; no comerá de las cosas sagradas a menos que haya lavado su cuerpo con agua.

7 "Cuando el sol se ponga quedará limpio, y después comerá de las cosas sagradas, porque son su alimento.

8 "No comerá animal que muera o sea despedazado por fieras, contaminándose por ello; yo soy el SEÑOR.

9 "Guardarán, pues, mi ordenanza para que no se carguen de pecado por ello, y mueran porque lo profanen; yo soy el SEÑOR que los santifico.
