Leviticus 22:2
英文原文
"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.

Leviticus 22:3
「從我面前剪除」——意即被摒於聖所之外。見利 20:17。
英文原文
Cut off from my presence - i. e. excluded from the sanctuary. See Leviticus 20:17.
4
Leviticus 22:4
見利 15:13-16。
英文原文
See Leviticus 15:13-16.
5
Leviticus 22:5
「爬物」——即死了的昆蟲。參利 11:29。
英文原文
Creeping things - i. e. dead vermin. Compare Leviticus 11:29.
6
Leviticus 22:6
「那人」——更宜譯作「這人」。可比較《公禱書》譯本詩 53:1中 body(身體)一詞的用法,以及 somebody(某人)、nobody(無人)等複合詞。
英文原文
The soul - Rather, the person. Compare the use of the word "body" in the Prayer Book version of Psalm 53:1, and in the compounds "somebody, nobody".
8
Leviticus 22:8
祭司若染污穢,性質更為嚴重,因為他必須暫停自己的聖職。參結 4:14;結 44:31。一般的禁令見利 11:39;利 17:15;出 22:31。
英文原文
The pollution in the priests would be an aggravated one, inasmuch as they would have to forego their sacred functions. Compare Ezekiel 4:14; Ezekiel 44:31. The general prohibition occurs in Leviticus 11:39; Leviticus 17:15; Exodus 22:31.
10
Leviticus 22:10
「外人」——指別家的人。見出 29:33註釋。
英文原文
Stranger - One of another family. See Exodus 29:33 note.
11
Leviticus 22:11
這顯示用錢買來的僕人是何等完全地被納入家中。見出 21:2註釋;出 21:20-21註釋。
英文原文
This shows how completely a purchased bondsman was incorporated into the household. See Exodus 21:2, note; Exodus 21:20-21, note.
12
Leviticus 22:12
「外人」——指別家的人。
英文原文
A stranger - One of another family.
14
Leviticus 22:14
「不是故意」——即無意中,或「因無知」。參利 4:2註釋。
英文原文
Unwittingly - Inadvertently, or "through ignorance." Compare Leviticus 4:2 note.
15
Leviticus 22:15
這幾節經文頗為難解。其大意看來是：「以色列人獻給耶和華的舉祭聖物」（見 Leviticus 7:30）「不可褻瀆；凡吃這些聖物的（以致褻瀆了它們），必擔當贖愆之罪。」
英文原文
These verses are rather difficult. Their meaning appears to be: "The holy things of the children of Israel which are heaved before Yahweh" (see Leviticus 7:30) "shall not be profaned; and they shall incur a sin of trespass who eat of their holy things (so as to profane them)."
19
Leviticus 22:19
「要甘心獻上公的」——更確切地說，應作「要使祭物為你們蒙悅納（Leviticus 22:29 亦同），它必須是公的」。見 Leviticus 1:3。這與 Leviticus 22:20-21、Leviticus 22:27 中的用語相同。
英文原文
Ye shall offer at your own will a male - Rather, That it may be accepted (so Leviticus 22:29) for you it shall be a male. See Leviticus 1:3. It is the same phrase as in Leviticus 22:20-21, Leviticus 22:27.
22
Leviticus 22:22
參 Leviticus 21:19；Deuteronomy 15:21。
英文原文
Compare Leviticus 21:19; Deuteronomy 15:21.
24
Leviticus 22:24
斜體標示之經文的字面意思是：「你們在國內不可這樣行。」猶太人似乎把它理解為禁止殘害牲畜的命令。
英文原文
The literal meaning of the passage in italics is, and this shall ye not do in your land. It appears to have been understood by the Jews as a prohibition of the mutilation of animals.
25
Leviticus 22:25
「外人的手」——這裏譯作「外人」的詞，與 Leviticus 22:10、Leviticus 22:18 中的不同；按字面是「不認識者之子」的意思，大概指住在別地、想要向以色列的神表示敬意的人。見 1 Kings 8:41。
英文原文
A stranger's hand - The word here rendered "stranger", is not the same as that in Leviticus 22:10, Leviticus 22:18 : it means literally, "the son of the unknown", and probably refers to one dwelling in another land who desired to show respect to the God of Israel. See 1 Kings 8:41.
27
Leviticus 22:27
任何祭牲必須滿了一週，方可獻為祭。這律法的意義看來是：牲畜應當在較少依賴母親、能夠自尋所需之時，才算具有獨立的生命。
英文原文
No victim was to be offered in sacrifice until it was a week old. The meaning of this law appears to be that the animal should realise a distinct existence in becoming less dependent on its mother, and able to provide for its own wants.
28
Leviticus 22:28
這條律法旨在提醒以色列人，母獸與其子代之間關係的神聖。參 Exodus 23:19 註釋。
英文原文
A law intended to remind the Israelites of the sacredness of the relation between the parent and its offspring. Compare Exodus 23:19 note.
「你吩咐……使他們遠離(即不觸摸)以色列人所分別為聖歸給我的聖物(即各樣祭牲的食物),免得褻瀆我的聖名。」這律法關乎祭司的日常生活與日常食物。
