Leviticus 22:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:12

If the priest's daughter also be [married] to a stranger
Not to an Heathen, but to any Israelite, that is, a common man, or a layman, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, one that is not a priest; but is married either to a Levite, or an Israelite, as Jarchi: she may not eat of an offering of the holy things;
the heave shoulder or wave breast being removed into another family by marriage, she is not reckoned of her father's family, and so had no more a right to eat of the holy things.

Leviticus 22:12 In-Context

10 There shall no stranger eat [of] the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy thing.
11 But if the priest shall buy [any] soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
12 If the priest's daughter also shall be [married] to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
13 But if the priest's daughter shall be a widow, or divorced, and shall have no child, and have returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat; but there shall no stranger eat of it.
14 And if a man shall eat [of] the holy thing unknowingly, then he shall put to it the fifth [part], and shall give [it] to the priest, with the holy thing.
