Leviticus 17:2 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 17:2

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons
Who were now constituted priests, the business of whose office it was to offer the sacrifices of the people, ordinary and extraordinary: and to all the children of Israel;
who were all under obligation to sacrifices at certain times; under whom may be comprehended the Levites, who were not priests, and the strangers that sojourned in Israel, for these are concerned in the following law: and say unto them;
which is spoken to Moses, who was to say what follows to Aaron, and by him to his sons, and by his sons to the people of Israel, and by them to the strangers: this [is] the thing which the Lord hath commanded;
ordered to be observed as his will and pleasure by everyone of them: saying;
namely, what follows.

Leviticus 17:2 In-Context

1 et locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
2 loquere Aaron et filiis eius et cunctis filiis Israhel et dices ad eos iste est sermo quem mandavit Dominus dicens
3 homo quilibet de domo Israhel si occiderit bovem aut ovem sive capram in castris vel extra castra
4 et non obtulerit ad ostium tabernaculi oblationem Domino sanguinis reus erit quasi sanguinem fuderit sic peribit de medio populi sui
5 ideo offerre debent sacerdoti filii Israhel hostias suas quas occidunt in agro ut sanctificentur Domino ante ostium tabernaculi testimonii et immolent eas hostias pacificas Domino
