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 Any descendant of Aaron who is afflicted with skin disease or has a discharge cannot eat of the holy things until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body, or who has an emission of semen,

5 or who touches any swarming creature or another person who makes him unclean—whatever the uncleanness might be—

6 the person who touches these things will be unclean until evening. He must not eat of the holy things unless he has bathed his body in water.

7 Once the sun has set and he has become clean again, he may eat of the holy things, for that is his food.

8 He must not eat an animal that has died naturally or that was killed by another animal, becoming unclean by doing so; I am the LORD.
