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

And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord. By causing or suffering strangers to eat of them; so Jarchi, referring the words to the priests, who should be careful that strangers ate not of sacred things; or by the strangers themselves eating them, whereby they were profaned and used as common things.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

These verses are rather difficult. Their meaning appears to be: “The holy things of the children of Israel which are heaved before Yahweh” (see Leviticus 7:30) “shall not be profaned; and they shall incur a sin of trespass who eat of their holy things (so as to profane them).”
