What does Numbers 18:9 mean?
This shall be thine of the most holy things
For, as observed, there were some lighter and lesser holy things
or sacrifices, and others superlatively so: and those are begun
with, such as were [reserved] from the fire;
those parts of sacrifices which were not burnt with fire on the
altar of burnt offerings: every oblation of
theirs;
which is a general word, including various offerings, the
particulars follow; every meat offering of
theirs:
or bread offering, for they were made of fine flour and oil, and
burnt on the altar, the remainder of which was eaten by Aaron and
his sons, ( Leviticus
6:14-18 ) ; every sin offering of theirs;
which was offered to make atonement for sin, which also belonged
to the priests and their sons, excepting such whose blood was
carried into the most holy place, (
Leviticus 6:25-30 ) ; and every trespass offering of
theirs, which they shall render unto
me;
which was offered for a trespass committed; what remained of this
also, when burnt on the altar, was eaten by the priest and his
sons, ( Leviticus
7:5 Leviticus
7:6 ) ; and this sacrifice was a ram, when a trespass was
committed, either in the holy things of the Lord, or in wrongs
done to men, ( Leviticus
5:15 ) ( 6:6 ) ;
Jarchi interprets it of an offering for a trespass committed by
rapine or violence to a stranger: these, all of them, it is
added, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy
sons;
for their use, and for theirs only.
