5Priests must not make bald spots on their heads, shave off the edges of their beards, or make cuts in their bodies.

Leviticus 21:6 Summary
[This verse reminds us that as followers of God, we are called to be holy and set apart for His service. Just like the priests in the Old Testament, we have a special role to play in honoring God and bringing Him joy. As it says in 1 Peter 1:15-16, we are to be holy because God is holy. By living a life that reflects God's character, we can bring glory to His name and be a blessing to those around us, just as the priests were to present the 'food of their God' in a way that was pleasing to Him.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for priests to be holy to their God?
Being holy to God means being set apart for His service and living a life that reflects His character, as seen in Leviticus 21:6 and supported by Genesis 17:1, where God commands Abraham to walk before Him and be blameless.
Why is it important for priests not to profane the name of their God?
Profaning God's name would dishonor Him and undermine the people's trust in the priests as spiritual leaders, as warned in Ezekiel 36:20, where God says His people profaned His holy name among the nations.
What kind of offerings are being referred to in this verse?
The offerings made by fire refer to the various sacrifices and burnt offerings described in the book of Leviticus, such as those in Leviticus 1:1-17, which were a vital part of the Israelites' worship and atonement for sin.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of holiness in the Bible?
This verse is part of a larger theme of holiness that runs throughout the Bible, emphasizing God's call for His people to be set apart and live according to His standards, as seen in Leviticus 11:44-45 and 1 Peter 1:15-16.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can apply the principle of being 'holy to God' in my own life, especially in areas where I interact with others?
- How can I balance the desire to be a good neighbor and friend with the need to maintain my own spiritual purity and not 'profane the name of God'?
- In what ways do I present 'offerings' to God in my daily life, and how can I ensure these are pleasing to Him?
- What are some modern-day equivalents of the 'offerings made by fire' that I can use to worship and honor God?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 21:6
They shall be holy unto their God,.... Sacred to his service, and wholly given up to it, and not interest themselves in things which hindered from it, or made them unfit for it; and such care becomes
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 21:6
They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 21:6
Holy unto their God; devoted to God’ s service, and always prepared and fit for it; and therefore shall keep themselves as far as they can from all defilement, which makes them unmeet for their Master’ s use. Not profane the name of their God, which they especially bear; they shall not disparage the service of God by making it give place to such slight occasions. The bread of their God, i.e. the shew-bread; or rather, all the other offerings besides burntofferings; which are called bread, either because bread is commonly put for all food, as below, ,21; or because God is satisfied and refreshed with these offerings, as a man is with his bread; or rather, because they, or part of them, are the bread or food of the priests, and are here called the bread of their God, either objectively, because they were offered to God, or efficiently, because they were given by God to the priests. And these are called bread in opposition to the burnt-offerings, which being wholly consumed gave no food to the priests. Or, the offerings made by fire are here put synecdochically for all the rest, the most eminent kind for all, which are here called bread, because devoured by fire to the honour of God; for the particle and is not in the Hebrew, and may be omitted.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 21:6
Leviticus 21:6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, [and] the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.Ver. 6. They shall be holy.] Heb., Holiness, i.e. all holy, even as holiness itself, merely spiritual. Not profane the name of their God.] Not do anything unworthy the majesty of the ministry: but suffer the dead to bury their dead.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 21:6
(6) They shall be holy unto their God.—This is the reason why the priests are not to disfigure themselves by maiming their outward appearance. Being sacred to the Lord, they are not to indulge in those outward manifestations of grief which would interfere with the discharge of their sacred duties, and thus cause the name of God to be profaned. The offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God.—Better, the offerings of the Lord made by fire, being the food of God. As the altar was the table, the sacrifice burnt on it was called His food. (See Leviticus 3:11.)
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 21:6
6. The reason is given for the restriction in Leviticus 21:1, viz. that the name of God, whose ministers they are, may not be polluted by ceremonial uncleanness. the offerings of the Lord made by fire] This expression, or its equivalent, is very frequent in P.The words are probably an insertion from that source here, and so in Leviticus 21:21, Leviticus 22:22; Leviticus 22:27, Leviticus 23:13; Leviticus 23:18. the bread of their God] See Leviticus 3:11; Leviticus 3:16.
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 21:6
The word here and in Leviticus 21:8 rendered “bread”, is the same as is rendered food in Leviticus 3:11, Leviticus 3:16, etc., and meat in Leviticus 22:11.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 21:6
6. Holy unto their God — See Leviticus 10:3; Leviticus 11:44; Leviticus 19:2, notes. This denotes entire consecration to God and perfect assimilation to his moral character. Not profane — See Leviticus 18:21, note.
