(1 The Priests in their uncleanness must abstaine from the holy things. 6 How they shall be cleansed. 10 Who of the Priests house may eat of the holy things. 17 The sacrifices must be without blemish. 26 The age of the sacrifice. 29 The law of eating the sacrifice of thanksgiving.)
This chapter gives rules about who can eat holy food and what animals can be offered. The structure is: 1) Rules about eating holy food (22:1-16) A. Unclean priests (22:1-9) B. Non-priests (22:10-16) 2) Rules about acceptable sacrifices (22:17-33) A. Animals without defects (22:17-25) B. Age and timing rules (22:26-33)
The chapter contains multiple levels of speech:- Yahweh speaking to Moses- Moses telling Aaron and his sons- Instructions for all IsraelitesYour language may need different ways to show these levels.
Many rules use passive form. Your language might need to say who does the action:- “shall be eaten” → “you must eat it”- “shall be accepted” → “I will accept it”- “was born” → “its mother gave birth to it”
The chapter uses several expressions that need careful translation:- “The bread of God” means “food offerings to God”- “From the hand of a foreigner” means “from a foreigner”- “Under its mother” means “with its nursing mother”- “His seed” means “his descendants”
The chapter uses terms that may need explanation:- “Body” often means the whole person- “Flesh” refers to the physical body- “House” means family or household- “Sojourner” means temporary resident
The chapter has strict rules about holy food:- Only priests and their households could eat it- Unclean priests couldn’t eat it temporarily- Daughters who married non-priests lost the right- Accidentally eating it required payment plus 20%
The chapter defines what makes an animal acceptable:- Must be physically perfect- Must be at least 8 days old- Cannot be castrated- Cannot be from foreignersThese rules showed respect for God’s holiness.
The chapter shows how household status affected rights:- Priests‘ slaves could eat holy food- Hired workers could not- Daughters‘ rights changed with marriageThis reflected the importance of family structure.(See: holy, clean, and unclean)
