Context17:12 Therefore, I have said to the Israelites: No person among you is to eat blood, 1 and no resident foreigner who lives among you is to eat blood. 2
Leviticus 22:10
Context22:10 “‘No lay person 3 may eat anything holy. Neither a priest’s lodger 4 nor a hired laborer may eat anything holy,
1 tn Heb “all/any person from you shall not eat blood.”
2 tn Heb “and the sojourner, the one sojourning in your midst, shall not eat blood.”
3 tn Heb “No stranger” (so KJV, ASV), which refers here to anyone other than the Aaronic priests. Some English versions reverse the negation and state positively: NIV “No one outside a priest’s family”; NRSV “Only a member of a priestly family”; CEV “Only you priests and your families.”
4 tn Heb “A resident [תּוֹשָׁב (toshav) from יָשַׁב (yashav, “to dwell, to reside”)] of a priest.” The meaning of the term is uncertain. It could refer to a “guest” (NIV) or perhaps “bound servant” (NRSV; see B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 149). In the translation “lodger” was used instead of “boarder” precisely because a boarder would be provided meals with his lodging, the very issue at stake here.
