Context — Restrictions for Priests
11so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”
12And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the food offerings to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.
13You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.
14And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel. 15They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the food offerings, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”Cross References

Leviticus 10:13 Summary
[This verse is telling the priests that they should eat the offerings in a special, holy place, because it's their share of the food that's been given to God, as seen in Leviticus 10:13. This reminds us that everything we have comes from God, and we should be thankful and respectful of His gifts (see Psalm 24:1 and 1 Corinthians 10:31). The priests are also sharing this food with their sons, which shows that faith and obedience are things that should be passed down to the next generation (see Deuteronomy 6:6-7 and Psalm 78:4-7). By following God's commands and being mindful of His presence, we can cultivate a sense of reverence and respect for Him in our daily lives.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of eating the offerings in a holy place?
Eating the offerings in a holy place signifies that the priests are set apart for God's service and that they are to treat the offerings with reverence and respect, as seen in Leviticus 10:13 and Exodus 29:31-34.
Why is it important for the priests to follow God's commands regarding the offerings?
Following God's commands regarding the offerings is crucial because it demonstrates obedience to God and ensures that the priests are doing things according to God's will, as stated in Leviticus 10:13 and Deuteronomy 12:32.
What is the relationship between the priests and their sons in regards to the offerings?
The priests and their sons are to share in the offerings, as seen in Leviticus 10:13, indicating that the priesthood is a family affair and that the sons are to be included in the priestly duties and benefits, as also mentioned in Exodus 28:1 and Numbers 18:1-7.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of priesthood in the Bible?
This verse is part of the larger narrative of the priesthood in the Bible, which ultimately points to Jesus Christ, the great High Priest, who offers Himself as a sacrifice for our sins, as seen in Hebrews 4:14-16 and 7:26-28.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean for me to 'eat in a holy place' in my own life, and how can I cultivate a sense of reverence and respect for God's presence?
- How can I, like the priests, obey God's commands and follow His will in my daily life, even when it's challenging or unclear?
- What are some ways that I can share in the 'offerings' of God's people, whether through service, giving, or other forms of ministry?
- How can I, like the priests and their sons, pass on the traditions and teachings of my faith to the next generation, and what role does family play in this process?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 10:13
And ye shall eat it in the holy place,.... Not in that which was properly so called, but in the court of the tabernacle; at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, as Aben Ezra, in some
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 10:13

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 10:13
Leviticus 10:13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it [is] thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. Ver. 13. See Leviticus 6:26.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 10:13
(13) And ye shall eat it in the holy place.—Better, and ye shall eat it in a holy place, that is, in any part of the holy court; it was not to be taken out of the precincts of the sanctuary.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 10:13
10, 11. This passage may well have an immediate relation to the preceding context, as meaning that perfect sobriety was required in order to enable them to discriminate between ‘holy’ and ‘common’ and to give right Torah. Others have thought that the words in the last clause of Lev 10:11 ‘the Lord hath spoken’ shew that it is not connected with Leviticus 10:8, and that Leviticus 10:9 seems marked off by its last clause from what follows. Leviticus 10:10 would form an appropriate introduction to chs. 11–15. Driver and White (Haupt’s SBOT., ad loc.) think that something may have fallen out here. (5) The law of eating the holy things (12–15) The reference is to the Meal-Offering and Peace-Offering of Lev 9:17-18. The remainder of the Meal-Offering, after the handful therefrom had been burnt, belonged to the priests, Leviticus 2:2-3, Leviticus 6:16-18. Being most holy, it was eaten only by priests in a holy place here specified as ‘beside the altar.’ Cp. Leviticus 6:16; Leviticus 6:26; ‘in the court of the tent of meeting.’ The priestly portions of the Peace-Offering might be eaten by the families of the priests in a clean place, of course only by those who were ritually clean (Leviticus 7:20-21). The Sin-Offering when eaten, being most holy, was treated as the Meal-Offering.
See Leviticus 6:24-29.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 10:13
13. Thy due, and thy sons’ due — In addition to the meat offering there were other sources of revenue to the priests, enumerated in Numbers 5:9, note. For so I am commanded — “Moses was not the fountain of authority.
