Leviticus 22:15-16

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah, and [so] cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them." — Leviticus 22:15-16 (ASV)

These verses are rather difficult. Their meaning appears to be: "The holy things of the children of Israel which are heaved before Yahweh must not be profaned; and those who eat their holy things (so as to profane them) will incur a sin of trespass."
