Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) And shall afterward eat . . . because it is his food.--As the sacrifices which were the perquisites of the officiating priests were the only things he had to live upon, the priest who had contracted defilement had virtually to go without food till sundown, when he purified himself by the prescribed lustrations.That which dieth of itself.--That is, clean animals or birds which have not been properly slaughtered, but have met with an accident. These have already been forbidden to every ordinary Israelite. (See Leviticus 17:15.) In the case of a priest eating the proscribed meat the consequences would be more serious, inasmuch as he would be debarred from his sacerdotal duties.Keep my ordinance.--That is, one laid down in the preceding verse with reference to animals which died a natural death, &c.And die therefore, if they profane it.--The death here threatened for the transgression of the ordinance is one not to be inflicted by an earthly tribunal, but, as it was explained during the second Temple, "by the hand of heaven." Hence the Chaldee version of Jonathan renders it, "lest they be killed for it by a flaming fire" like Nadab and Abihu.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewWhen the sunהַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ (haš·še·meš)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 8121: The sun, the east, a ray, a notched battlementhas set,וּבָ֥א (ū·ḇā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gohe will become clean,וְטָהֵ֑ר (wə·ṭā·hêr)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2891: To be clean or pureand thenוְאַחַר֙ (wə·’a·ḥar)Conjunctive waw | AdverbStrong's 310: The hind or following parthe may eatיֹאכַ֣ל (yō·ḵal)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 398: To eatfromמִן־ (min-)PrepositionStrong's 4480: A part of, from, out ofthe sacred offerings,הַקֳּדָשִׁ֔ים (haq·qo·ḏā·šîm)Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 6944: A sacred place, thing, sanctityforכִּ֥י (kî)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctiontheyהֽוּא׃ (hū)Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, areare his food.לַחְמ֖וֹ (laḥ·mōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 3899: Food, bread, grainJump to PreviousAfterward Afterwards Bread Clean Eat Food Gifts Goes Holy Offerings Part Sacred Sets
