G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 22:1-33

Instructions already given are now repeated with greater detail and wider application. Not only must the priest himself be free from blemish and defilement, he must see to it that all that which he offered was to be of h e same character. Yet again, he was not to exercise hospitality toward those who were unclean or strangers to the covenant of the things which pertained to the House of his God. These stringent instructions closed with a reaffirmation of the reason, which had been given in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 22:17-25

Offerings and Sacrifices Must Be Unblemished (Leviticus 22:17-25 ). Having come to the end of this section concerning the priests the people are now reintroduced. For God’s words and commands are for them all, and His desire and demand is that they all be holy. As the record will now move shortly into the times and seasons which are in God’s hands, all are to be involved. But first an application must be made to the people occasioned by the idea of blemishes. They too must not come with what... read more

Leviticus 22:17-Lamentations : . Conditions to be Satisfied by the Victims in the case of certain sacrifices. This set of rules is given to “ Aaron and his sons” as containing guidance for the priests’ examination of the animals. For vows and freewill offerings (Leviticus 1-3) the victim is to be a male, without blemish. In the case of a peace offering, which is to accomplish a vow or freewill offering (un-mentioned in Leviticus 3), the sex of the animal is not mentioned, but certain... read more

Priestly Privileges Forfeited by UncleannessSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 22:1.—Profane not My holy name in those things which they hallow unto Me. Holy things must not be touched with unclean hands. What God hallows should be revered. To treat heedlessly any sacred thing profanes that Name with which it has become associated. If this applied to the altar offerings of the ancient tabernacle, surely it applies to our holy things—the Scriptures, the Sanctuary, the Lord’s Day; for the Divine Name... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:1-33

Chapter 22Now in the twenty-second chapter he deals with the priests and the things that they could eat. You see the things that were brought in sacrifice; a portion of them became meat for the priest. So the qualifications now are the rules regarding the sacrifices that he ate, only the priest and his family could eat them. They were not to give them out to strangers, or if he had company, he wasn't to offer to the company the food that had been offered as a sacrifice to God, that was his... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 22:1-33

Leviticus 22:4. Unclean. The injunctions in this and the following verses, though not literally binding on christians, yet the holy law from whence they emanate is not to be disregarded. Every infirmity which kept a Jew from the synagogue, does not debar a christian from the church. With regard also to bodily purity, the christian law requires every one to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour. Leviticus 22:10. No stranger shall eat of holy things. Nor were they allowed to... read more
