Leviticus 7:6

6 Any male priest can eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.

Leviticus 7:6 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:6

Every male among the priests shall eat thereof
Of the flesh of it, after the fat was taken off and burnt, the rest belonged to the priests and their sons, and to them only, not to their wives and daughters:

it shall be eaten in the holy place;
in the court of the tabernacle, in some apartment in it, for that purpose, as afterwards in the temple; it was not to be carried home to their houses, for all in the family to partake of, only the priests and their sons were to eat of it:

it [is] most holy;
and therefore none but such who were devoted to holy services might eat of it; only sanctified persons, true believers, who are made priests unto God, have a right to eat of the altar Christ, or, can eat his flesh in a spiritual sense, and feed upon him by faith, and receive nourishment from him, ( Hebrews 13:10 ) .

Leviticus 7:6 In-Context

4 the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which must be removed with the kidneys.
5 The priest must burn them completely on the altar as a food gift for the LORD; it is a compensation offering.
6 Any male priest can eat it. It must be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7 The compensation offering is like the purification offering—they share the same Instruction: It belongs to the priest who makes reconciliation with it.
8 The hide of the entirely burned offering that a priest has offered belongs to the priest who offered it.
