- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et non peccabitis super hoc, egregia vobis et pinguia reservantes, ne polluatis oblationes filiorum Israël, et moriamini.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ οὐ λήμψεσθε δι᾽ αὐτὸ ἁμαρτίαν, ὅτι ἂν ἀφαιρῆτε τὴν ἀπαρχὴν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ· καὶ τὰ ἅγια τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ οὐ βεβηλώσετε, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνητε.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְלֹֽא תִשְׂא֤וּ עָלָיו֙ חֵ֔טְא בַּהֲרִֽימְכֶ֥ם אֶת חֶלְבּ֖וֹ מִמֶּ֑נּוּ וְאֶת קָדְשֵׁ֧י בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל לֹ֥א תְחַלְּל֖וּ וְלֹ֥א תָמֽוּתוּ
Haydock's commentary
By, &c. Hebrew, "when you have made a heave-offering of the best of it; nor shall you profane the holy things of," &c. (Haydock)
This they would do, if they gave the worst only to the priests. (Du Hamel)
There were only three at this time; yet they received the 100th part of the produce of so many thousands. Well therefore might God say, I will fill the souls of the priests with fatness: and my people shall be filled with good things, Jeremias xxxi. 14. (Tirinus)
