Leviticus 22:7

Leviticus 22:7

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.

7 And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy offerings, because ^ait is his food.

8 ^aWhatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am the Lord.

9 ‘They shall therefore keep ^aMy ordinance, ^blest they bear sin for it and die thereby, if they profane it: I the Lord sanctify them.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Leviticus 22:6

Leviticus 22:8 >>

His food - His portion, the means of his subsistence. This may be added, to signify why there was no greater nor longer a penalty put upon the priests than upon the people in the same case, because his necessity craved some mitigation: tho' otherwise the priests being more sacred persons, deserved a greater punishment.
