Contextual Overview

10‘No layman, however, is to eat the holy gift; a foreign resident with the priest or a hired man shall not eat of the holy gift. 11But if a priest buys a person as his property with his money, that one may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his food. 12If a priest's daughter is married to a layman, she shall not eat of the contribution of the holy gifts. 13But if a priest's daughter becomes a widow or divorced, and has no seed, and returns to her father's house as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's food; but no layman shall eat of it. 14But if a man eats a holy gift unintentionally, then he shall add to it a fifth of it and shall give the holy gift to the priest. 15They shall not profane the holy gifts of the sons of Israel which they raise up to Yahweh, 16and so cause them to bear punishment for guilt by eating their holy gifts; for I am Yahweh who makes them holy.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

If the priest's daughter also be [married] to a stranger,.... Not to an Heathen, but to any Israelite, that is, a common man, or a layman, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, one that is not a priest; but is married either to a Levite, or an Israelite, as Jarchi:

she may not eat of an offering of the holy things; the heave shoulder or wave breast, &c. being removed into another family by marriage, she is not reckoned of her father's family, and so had no more a right to eat of the holy things.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A stranger - One of another family.
