33. Rules for the priests: Who will eat the holy food (Lev 22:1-16)

This passage regulates who is allowed to eat the holy offering.


πŸ‘‰ Read Leviticus 22:1-16


 When will the priest profane His name regarding the holy food?


When the priest becomes unclean, he must (           ) himself and will stay unclean until (           ). After sunset, he may eat the holy food because it is his (           ).


No (               ) may eat anything holy. If a man eats a holy offering by mistake, he must add (            ) to it and offer a guilt offering.

 

Answers and Meditation

When he eats it while he is impure (unclean)

If a priest eats the holy food while in his uncleanness, he profanes the name of God.

 

Bathe, evening, food

God is merciful that you will become clean after sunset, the start of a new day.

 

Layperson, one-fifth

This is one example of when they offended God’s holiness and needed to offer a guilt offering.

 

The Lord sanctified the priests (9) and the offerings (16). Therefore, they should show proper respect in dealing with the offerings, the holy food for the priests. 

Ahimelech, the priest, gave the showbread, which only the priest can eat, and David ate it. Nevertheless, God does not punish David. Because David was in a desperate situation, he showed compassion even at the risk of God's name being profaned.

In the same way, the Lord bored the shameful cross from His compassionate heart toward us in our hopeless plight.
