‏ Leviticus 6:18

6:18 ^a The priestly share did not belong exclusively to the priest conducting the sacrifice; it was to be shared with all of Aaron’s male descendants. The text does not indicate why these offerings could be eaten only by the males while other offerings were available to all members of the priests’ families (see study note on 10:13-15; see also Num 18:20-24 ^b).

• will become holy: Or must be holy; also in Lev 6:27 ^c. Though uncleanness could be spread by touch (ch 15 ^d), Haggai implied that holiness could not (Hag 2:12 ^e). If an unclean person encountered that which was holy, disaster could result (Lev 10:1-3 ^f; 1 Sam 6:19-20 ^g; 2 Sam 6:6-8 ^h).
