Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) Neither shall he profane his seed.--Better, And he shall not profane; that is, he is not to contract any of these forbidden marriages, lest he should thereby degrade his offspring, since the children of such an issue, as well as their mother, were debarred the privileges of the priesthood, and were not permitted to partake of those portions of the sacrifices which formed the perquisites of the officiating priests.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewso that he does notוְלֹֽא־ (wə·lō-)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, nodefileיְחַלֵּ֥ל (yə·ḥal·lêl)Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2490: To bore, to wound, to dissolve, to profane, to break, to begin, to playhis offspringזַרְע֖וֹ (zar·‘ōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 2233: Seed, fruit, plant, sowing-time, posterityamong his people,בְּעַמָּ֑יו (bə·‘am·māw)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 5971: A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flockforכִּ֛י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctionIאֲנִ֥י (’ă·nî)Pronoun - first person common singularStrong's 589: Iam the LORDיְהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3069: YHWHwho sanctifies him.’”מְקַדְּשֽׁוֹ׃ (mə·qad·də·šōw)Verb - Piel - Participle - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 6942: To be set apart or consecratedJump to PreviousChildren Defile Hallow Holy Makes Offspring Peoples Pollute Sanctifies Sanctifieth Sanctify Sanctifying Seed Unclean
