Levitikus 21:24 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 21:24

And Moses told [it] to Aaron, and to his sons
What God had said to him concerning the priests defiling themselves for the dead, both common priests and high priest, and concerning their marriages and their blemishes; that they might be careful not to transgress the laws and rules given them concerning those things:

and to all the children of Israel;
to the heads of the tribes and elders of the people, and by them to the whole, that they might know who were fit, and who not, to put their sacrifice into their hands, to offer for them: Jarchi thinks this was to warn the sanhedrim concerning the priests, whose business it was to examine and judge who were fit for service and who not; for so we are told ^F11, that in the chamber Gazith, or of hewn stone, the great sanhedrim of Israel sat and judged the priests, and rejected some and received others.

Levitikus 21:24 In-Context

22 Das Brot seines Gottes von dem Hochheiligen und von dem Heiligen mag er essen;

23 allein zum Vorhang soll er nicht kommen, und zum Altar soll er nicht nahen, denn ein Gebrechen ist an ihm, daß er nicht meine Heiligtümer entweihe; denn ich bin Jehova, der sie heiligt.

24 Und so redete Mose zu Aaron und zu seinen Söhnen und zu allen Kindern Israel.
