Levítico 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:7

And when the sun is down he shall be clean
Having washed himself in water, otherwise not, though the sun may be set: and shall afterwards eat of the holy things;
the families of the priests lived upon: because it [is] his food:
his common food, his ordinary diet, that by which he subsists, having nothing else to live upon; this being the ordination of God, that he which ministered about holy things should live on them; and these being his only substance, in compassion to him they were detained from him no longer than the evening; and this was done, to make him careful how he defiled himself, since thereby he was debarred of his ordinary meals.

Levítico 22:7 In-Context

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;
6 La persona que lo tocare, será inmunda hasta la tarde, y no comerá de las cosas sagradas antes que haya lavado su carne con agua.
7 Y cuando el sol se pusiere, será limpio; y después comerá las cosas sagradas, porque su pan es.
8 Mortecino ni despedazado por fiera no comerá, para contaminarse en ello: Yo Jehová.
9 Guarden, pues, mi ordenanza, y no lleven pecado por ello, no sea que así mueran cuando la profanaren: Yo Jehová que los santifico.
