Leviticus 22:1-3
Excerpted from: Offerings (Part Five)What God is saying here in effect is that it is one thing to be a priest. It is another thing entirely to be a clean priest.
He is saying, "I am a holy God, and those who serve Me are also going to be holy." We read this back in the New Testament in the book of I Peter where Peter says, be you holy because He is holy. Holy means sanctified. Holy means different. Holy means clean. There are a number of connotations that you can put on it. God is saying that I am a clean God and I want those who serve Me also to be clean. Now, what manner of thing would render a person unclean?
Leviticus 22:3
Excerpted from: New Covenant Priesthood (Part 2)This verse is not talking about the people who bring the offering (that which is devoted to God), but those who are going to receive the offering—meaning the priesthood. And they are not allowed to be unclean. That is, those who receive the devoted things.
The priesthood received a portion of some of the offerings, some of the devoted things that Israel brought to be offered to God; but they were only allowed to eat it if they themselves were clean.
