This verse explains that the holy-place portion is the priests' commanded due.
Read It With
- Leviticus 10:12-20
Start with 10:12-20 rather than Leviticus 10:13 alone. In that complete movement, this verse explains that the holy-place portion is the priests' commanded due. The unit's controlling claim is: Moses directs priestly eating, becomes angry when the goat is burned, hears Aaron's grief-shaped reasoning, and accepts the explanation.
Why It Needs Context
Leviticus 10:13 explains that the holy-place portion is the priests' commanded due; reading it alone would sever that detail from the actors, category, and outcome in Leviticus 10:12-20.
