Contextual Overview

10 And, no stranger, shall eat what is hallowed, - neither, one who dwelleth with a priest nor a hireling shall eat what is hallowed. 11 But when, a priest, buyeth any person, as the purchase of his silver, he may eat thereof, - and, the children of his household, they, may eat of his food. 12 And, when, a priest's daughter, belongeth to a husband, who is a stranger, she, of the heave-offering of the hallowed things, may not eat. 13 But, when a priest's daughter, cometh to be a widow or divorced and hath no seed, and so she returneth unto the house of her father, as in her youth, of the food of her father, she may eat, - but no stranger, shall eat thereof. 14 And, when, any man, eateth what is hallowed, by mistake, then shall he add the fifth part of it thereunto, and give unto the priest the hallowed thing: 15 So shall they not profane the hallowed things of the sons of Israel, - which they heave up unto Yahweh; 16 nor cause them to bear guilty iniquity, when they eat their hallowed things, - For, I - Yahweh, am hallowing them.

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.
