Levítico 22:3

3 Diles: "Si alguno de entre vuestros descendientes en todas vuestras generaciones, se acerca a las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel consagran al SEÑOR, estando inmundo, esa persona será cortada de mi presencia. Yo soy el SEÑOR.

Levítico 22:3 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:3

Say unto them, whosoever [he be] of all your seed among your
generations
Whether male or female, in all succeeding ages, as long as the ceremonial law lasted; for females as well as males of the families of the priests ate of the holy things, provided they had no uncleanness on them, but if they had, they might not: that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow
unto the Lord:
that approaches to any of the sacrifices which the children of Israel have devoted to the Lord, either to offer them, or even to touch them, and particularly to eat of them; and so Jarchi and Ben Gersom observe, that this going or drawing near is no other than eating; for touching only, a man was not guilty of cutting off: having his uncleanness upon him;
through a leprosy, or running issue, or touching any unclean person or thing, as the following words explain it: that soul shall be cut off from my presence;
excluded from the sanctuary, and the service of it, where the presence of God was; or be removed out of the world by death, either by the civil magistrate, or by the hand of God, by an immediate death, by the pestilence, as the Targum of Jonathan: I [am] the Lord;
that will avenge the breach of such a law, able to inflict such punishment, and faithful to accomplish every word of his, whether in a way of threatening or promise.

Levítico 22:3 In-Context

1 Habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:
2 Di a Aarón y a sus hijos que tengan cuidado con las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel me consagran, para que no profanen mi santo nombre; yo soy el SEÑOR.
3 Diles: "Si alguno de entre vuestros descendientes en todas vuestras generaciones, se acerca a las cosas sagradas que los hijos de Israel consagran al SEÑOR, estando inmundo, esa persona será cortada de mi presencia. Yo soy el SEÑOR.
4 "Ningún varón de los descendientes de Aarón que sea leproso, o que tenga flujo, podrá comer de las cosas sagradas hasta que sea limpio. Y si alguno toca alguna cosa contaminada por un cadáver, o si un hombre tiene una emisión seminal,
5 si alguno toca ciertos animales por los cuales se pueda contaminar, o a cualquier hombre que lo contamine, cualquiera que sea su inmundicia,
