22:15They32 must not profane the holy offerings which the Israelites contribute33 to the Lord,3422:16and so cause them to incur a penalty for guilt35 when they eat their holy offerings,36 for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.’ ”
Footnotes
- 32 Contextually, “They” could refer either to the people (v. 14a; cf. “No one”) or the priests (v. 14b; cf. “The priests”), but the latter seems more likely (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [], , and B. A. Levine, Leviticus [], ). The priests were responsible to see that the portions of the offerings that were to be consumed by the priests as prebends did not become accessible to the people. Mistakes in this matter (cf. v. 14) would bring “guilt” on the people, requiring punishment (v. 16).
- 33 The Hebrew verb הֵרִים (herim, rendered “contribute” here) is commonly used for setting aside portions of an offering (see, e.g., Lev 4:8–10 and R. E. Averbeck, 4:).
- 34 Heb “the holy offerings of the sons of Israel which they contribute to the Lord.” The subject “they” here refers to the Israelites (“the sons of Israel”) which is the most immediate antecedent. To make this clear, the present translation has “the holy offerings which the Israelites contribute to the Lord.”
- 35 Heb “iniquity of guilt”; “cause them to bear punishment for guilt.” The Hebrew word עָוֹן (’avon, “iniquity”) can designate either acts of iniquity or the penalty (i.e., punishment) for such acts.
- 36 That is, when the lay people eat portions of offerings that should have been eaten only by priests and those who belonged to priestly households.
