Charles Ellicott Commentary Leviticus 22:1

"And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying," — Leviticus 22:1 (ASV)

And the Lord spake unto Moses. —In this chapter the laws regulating the conduct of the priests in their holy ministrations are continued. As the last chapter concluded with the permission to disqualified priests to eat of the sacrifices, this chapter opens with conditions under which even the legally qualified priests must not partake of the offerings.
