Levítico 22:2 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:2

Speak unto Aaron and to his sons
The priests; the children of Israel or the common people are not mentioned, as having no concern in the following laws about eating holy things: that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of
Israel;
both from offering their lawful sacrifices, which was the business of their office when pure, and chiefly from eating that part of them which was their due, and was allowed them; neither of these they were to do, particularly the latter, when they were in any uncleanness, as the following words show: and that, they profane not my holy name [in those things] which they
hallow unto me;
which the children of Israel set apart and devoted to his service; which they would do, by eating their part of them when unclean, and thereby show little reverence to that holy name to which they were devoted; or which the priests themselves sanctified, by offering them to him; for Jarchi says, this takes in the holiness of the priests themselves; but the former seems best, and is confirmed in ( Leviticus 22:3 ) : I [am] the Lord;
who is holy himself, and whose holy things these are, and will be sanctified by those that draw nigh unto him.

Levítico 22:2 In-Context

1 Y HABLO Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:

2 Di á Aarón y á sus hijos, que se abstengan de las santificaciones de los hijos de Israel, y que no profanen mi santo nombre en lo que ellos me santifican: Yo Jehová.

3 Diles: Todo varón de toda vuestra simiente en vuestras generaciones que llegare á las cosas sagradas, que los hijos de Israel consagran á Jehová, teniendo inmundicia sobre sí, de delante de mí será cortada su alma: Yo Jehová.

4 Cualquier varón de la simiente de Aarón que fuere leproso, ó padeciere flujo, no comerá de las cosas sagradas hasta que esté limpio: y el que tocare cualquiera cosa inmunda de mortecino, ó el varón del cual hubiere salido derramamiento de semen;

5 O el varón que hubiere tocado cualquier reptil, por el cual será inmundo, ú hombre por el cual venga á ser inmundo, conforme á cualquiera inmundicia suya;
