10 In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
10 Eat it as something most holy; every male shall eat it. You must regard it as holy.
10 In a most holy place shall you eat it. Every male may eat it; it is holy to you.
10 Eat it reverently; it is most holy; every male may eat it. Treat it as holy.
10 In a most holy place you shall eat it; every male shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.
10 You must eat it as a most holy offering. All the males may eat of it, and you must treat it as most holy.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Numbers 18:10
Commentary on Numbers 18:8-19
(Read Numbers 18:8-19)
All believers are spiritual priests, and God has promised to take care of them. Godliness has the promise of the life that now is. And from the provision here made for the priests, the apostle shows that it is the duty of christian churches to maintain their ministers. Scandalous maintenance makes scandalous ministers. The priests were to be wholly devoted to their ministry, not diverted from it, or disturbed in it, by worldly care or business. Also, that they might be examples of living by faith, not only in God's providence, but in his ordinances. The best should be offered for the first-fruits unto the Lord. Those who think to save, by putting God off with the refuse, deceive themselves, for God is not mocked.
