SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:2
Di a Aarón y a sus hijos, que se abstengan de las santificaciones de los hijos de Israel, y que no ensucien mi santo nombre en lo que ellos me santifican. Yo soy el SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:2
Verse 2. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves] The same subject is continued in this chapter as in the preceding, with this addition, that besides the perfection of the priests, it was indispensably necessary that the sacrifices also should be perfect. In the service of God, according to the law, neither an imperfect offering nor an imperfect offerer could be admitted. What need then of a mediator between a holy God and sinful men! And can we expect that any of our services, however sincere and well- intentioned, can be accepted, unless offered on that living Altar that sanctifies the gift?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons , etc.] The priests; the children of Israel or the common people are not mentioned, as having no concern in the following laws about eating holy things: that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel ; both from offering their lawful sacrifices, which was the business of their office when pure, and chiefly from eating that part of them which was their due, and was allowed them; neither of these they were to do, particularly the latter, when they were in any uncleanness, as the following words show: and that, they profane not my holy name [in those things] which they hallow unto me ; which the children of Israel set apart and devoted to his service; which they would do, by eating their part of them when unclean, and thereby show little reverence to that holy name to which they were devoted; or which the priests themselves sanctified, by offering them to him; for Jarchi says, this takes in the holiness of the priests themselves; but the former seems best, and is confirmed in ( Leviticus 22:3): I [am] the Lord ; who is holy himself, and whose holy things these are, and will be sanctified by those that draw nigh unto him.
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 __________________________________________________________________
