Leviticus 22:3-6, Leviticus 15:31, Numbers 6:3-8

that they profane not: This is the very ground of the prohibition, that they might preserve in their minds a holy reverence for the Divine Majesty. Hence when they approached unto him, they must be free from every legal impurity. If great men are to be approached with respect, how much more must Jehovah be approached with holy reverence! Leviticus 22:32, Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 19:12, Leviticus 20:3, Leviticus 21:6

hallow: Exodus 13:12, Exodus 28:38, Numbers 18:32, Deuteronomy 15:19

Reciprocal: Numbers 5:9 - offering Numbers 18:11 - every one Ezra 2:63 - should not Ezra 8:28 - the vessels Isaiah 52:11 - be Ezekiel 22:26 - profaned Ezekiel 44:8 - ye have not

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Speak unto Aaron and to his sons,.... The priests; the children of Israel or the common people are not mentioned, as having no concern in the following laws about eating holy things:

that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel; both from offering their lawful sacrifices, which was the business of their office when pure, and chiefly from eating that part of them which was their due, and was allowed them; neither of these they were to do, particularly the latter, when they were in any uncleanness, as the following words show:

and that, they profane not my holy name [in those things] which they hallow unto me; which the children of Israel set apart and devoted to his service; which they would do, by eating their part of them when unclean, and thereby show little reverence to that holy name to which they were devoted; or which the priests themselves sanctified, by offering them to him; for Jarchi says, this takes in the holiness of the priests themselves; but the former seems best, and is confirmed in

Leviticus 22:3:

I [am] the Lord; who is holy himself, and whose holy things these are, and will be sanctified by those that draw nigh unto him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

“Speak ... that they so abstain from touching the holy things (i. e. the sacrificial food of all kinds) of the children of Israel which they consecrate unto me, that they profane not my holy name.” This law related to the daily life and the ordinary food of the priests.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 22:2. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves — The same subject is continued in this chapter as in the preceding, with this addition, that besides the perfection of the priests, it was indispensably necessary that the sacrifices also should be perfect. In the service of God, according to the law, neither an imperfect offering nor an imperfect offerer could be admitted. What need then of a mediator between a holy God and sinful men! And can we expect that any of our services, however sincere and well-intentioned, can be accepted, unless offered on that living Altar that sanctifies the gift?
