2. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves
from the holy things--"To separate" means, in the language of the
Mosaic ritual, "to abstain"; and therefore the import of this
injunction is that the priests should abstain from eating that part of
the sacrifices which, though belonging to their order, was to be
partaken of only by such of them as were free from legal impurities.
that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow
unto me, &c.--that is, let them not, by their want of due
reverence, give occasion to profane my holy name. A careless or
irreverent use of things consecrated to God tends to dishonor the name
and bring disrespect on the worship of God.
