Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) But if the priest buy any soul.--The case, however, was different with heathen slaves whom the priest purchased. These were admitted into the Jewish community by the rite of circumcision, they were allowed to partake of the paschal lamb, and of every privilege of the Israelites. Hence they became incorporated in the priestly family, and were allowed to eat of the holy things. During the second Temple this privilege was extended to that kind of domestic whom the priest did not actually acquire by his own purchase-money, but whom the wife brought with her as part of her dowry, as well as to those whom the slaves of the priestly family purchased.Born in his house.--That is, the house-born servant or the child of the slave. (See Genesis 17:12-13.) Even when the priest himself could not eat of the holy things by reason of his having contracted some legal defilement, his wife, children, and slaves were permitted to partake of the sacrificial repast.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewBut ifכִּֽי־ (kî-)ConjunctionStrong's 3588: A relative conjunctiona priestוְכֹהֵ֗ן (wə·ḵō·hên)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3548: Priestpurchasesיִקְנֶ֥ה (yiq·neh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7069: To erect, create, to procure, by purchase, to ownsomeoneנֶ֙פֶשׁ֙ (ne·p̄eš)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 5315: A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion withקִנְיַ֣ן (qin·yan)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 7075: Creation, creatures, acquisition, purchase, wealthhis money,כַּסְפּ֔וֹ (kas·pōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 3701: Silver, moneyor oneהֵ֖ם (hêm)Pronoun - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1992: Theyis bornוִילִ֣יד (wî·lîḏ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3211: Bornin his household,בֵּית֔וֹ (bê·ṯōw)Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 1004: A housethat personה֖וּא (hū)Pronoun - third person masculine singularStrong's 1931: He, self, the same, this, that, as, aremay eatיֹ֣אכַל (yō·ḵal)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 398: To eatof it.בּ֑וֹ (bōw)Preposition | third person masculine singularStrong's Hebrew Jump to PreviousBorn Bread Buy Buyeth Buys Eat Food House Household Meat Money Property Purchase Purchased Slave Soul
