Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread
of
your God of any of these
That is, from a Gentile, a proselyte of the gate, who had
renounced idolatry, and was willing to offer sacrifice to the
true God; but what had such defects and blemishes in them as
before described the priest might not take of his hands, and
offer on the altar of God; and this is the rather observed,
because on the one hand the Gentile might think such sacrifices
would be acceptable, since he might have been used to offer such
to idols; and on the other hand, the priest might think such
would do well enough for Gentiles, though not for Israelites:
because their corruption [is] in them;
or they are corrupt through being bruised, crushed, broken, or
cut: [and] blemishes [be] in them;
which seems to be added to explain the former, and may have
respect to all the blemishes before named, and whatsoever is
included in them; for though there are but here mentioned, the
Jews reckon no less than fifty F3: they shall not be
accepted for you;
to make atonement for you; Jarchi says, or "from you", the
priests; they shall not be accepted of the Lord from their hands,
and so be of no avail to the offerers, nor to those for whom they
are offered.
