Verse 2 Read Chapter 22 Verse 4

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849

Approacheth This is to give us to understand, with what purity of soul we are to approach to the blessed sacrament, of which these meats that had been offered in sacrifice were a figure. (Challoner) Such as were unclean, either fasted till the evening, or ate unconsecrated meats till they were purified. Perish. The Rabbins say, by the hands of the other priests. The judges could only condemn him to be whipped. If his crime were secret, the punishment was left to God. (Selden, syn. ii. 1.)
