Leviticus 22:2
Compare all
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they aseparate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they bdo not profane My holy name by what they cdedicate to Me: I am the Lord.  
3 Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the Lord, awhile he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the Lord.  
4 ‘Whatever man of the descendants of Aaron, who is a aleper or has ba discharge, shall not eat the holy offerings cuntil he is clean. And dwhoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or ea man who has had an emission of semen,  
5 or awhoever touches any creeping thing by which he would be made unclean, or bany person by whom he would become unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be—  
6 the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat the holy offerings unless he awashes his body with water.

Leviticus 22:2

THE PRIESTS IN THEIR UNCLEANNESS. (Leviticus 22:1-9)

Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things—"To separate" means, in the language of the Mosaic ritual, "to abstain"; and therefore the import of this injunction is that the priests should abstain from eating that part of the sacrifices which, though belonging to their order, was to be partaken of only by such of them as were free from legal impurities.

that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me, etc.—that is, let them not, by their want of due reverence, give occasion to profane my holy name. A careless or irreverent use of things consecrated to God tends to dishonor the name and bring disrespect on the worship of God.
