SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:11
Mas el sacerdote, cuando comprare persona de su dinero, ésta comerá de ella, y el nacido en su casa; éstos comerán de su pan.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. But if the priest buy [any] soul with his money, he shall eat of it , etc.] Whether any of his own nation, who sometimes, when become poor, were obliged to sell themselves; or a stranger, as the Targum of Jonathan; one of another nation, a Canaanitish servant, as Jarchi. Now these being his own purchase, and always to abide with him, became part of his family, and so might eat of the provisions of it; and it is from hence the Jews gather, as Jarchi and Gersom, that his wife might eat of the holy things, because bought with his money; but there is a better reason to be given for that, for of whatever family she was before, whether of the priests or not, by marriage she became a part, yea, a principal of his family, being one flesh with him, bearing the same name, and entitled to all the privileges of his house. This is extended by some Jewish writers to cattle, for by any soul they understood also the soul of a beast, which being bought by the priest’s money, might eat of the offerings of the tithes: and he that is born in his house; they shall eat of his meat ; whether male or female, as Aben Ezra; these are children of handmaids, as Jarchi, that were bought with his money; and these children being born of them, became his property, and part of his family, and so had a right to the provisions of his house. All this may teach us, that the holy ordinances of the Gospel are not to be administered to strangers, persons destitute of the grace of God, nor to such as are not of the family or church of God, but to such as are bought and redeemed with the blood of Christ, the high priest, and are born again of his Spirit and grace.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Laws concerning the priests and sacrifices. --In this chapter we have divers laws concerning the priests an sacrifices, all for preserving the honour of the sanctuary. Let u recollect with gratitude that our great High Priest cannot be hindere by any thing from the discharge of his office. Let us also remember that the Lord requires us to reverence his name, his truths, his ordinances, and commandments. Let us beware of hypocrisy, and examin ourselves concerning our sinful defilements, seeking to be purifie from them in the blood of Christ, and by his sanctifying Spirit Whoever attempts to expiate his own sin, or draws near in the pride of self-righteousness, puts as great an affront on Christ, as he who come to the Lord's table from the gratification of sinful lusts. Nor can the minister who loves the souls of the people, suffer them to continue in this dangerous delusion. He must call upon them, not only to repent of their sins, and forsake them; but to put their whole trust in the atonement of Christ, by faith in his name, for pardon and acceptanc with God; thus only will the Lord make them holy, as his own people __________________________________________________________________
