Wesley's Notes for Leviticus 22:8

22:7 His food - His portion, the means of his subsistence. This may be added, to signify why there was no greater nor longer a penalty put upon the priests than upon the people in the same case, because his necessity craved some mitigation: tho' otherwise the priests being more sacred persons, deserved a greater punishment.

22:9 Lest they bear sin - Incur guilt and punishment. For it - For the neglect or violation of it.

22:10 No stranger - Of a strange family, who is not a priest; but there is an exception to this rule, #Lev 22:11|. A sojourner - One that comes to his house and abides there for a season, and eats at his table.
