Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

The word zar, a stranger, does not mean one of another nation, a foreigner, which is expressed by hechar, but one who is not of the seed of Aaron, or does not belong to his family. 1 Samuel 21:6, Matthew 12:4

Reciprocal: Exodus 12:43 - There shall Exodus 12:45 - General Exodus 29:33 - a stranger Leviticus 21:22 - and of the holy Numbers 1:51 - the stranger Numbers 16:40 - that no Ezra 2:63 - should not Proverbs 20:25 - a snare

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There shall no stranger eat [of] the holy thing,.... Any one of the holy things, as the heave shoulder, wave breast, c. by a "stranger" is not meant one of another nation though indeed all such were called strangers, and might not eat of these things, Ephesians 2:12; but one that was not of the family of a priest, though he might be an Israelite, and even a Levite; anyone that was not of the seed of Aaron, as Aben Ezra; any common man or laic, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, excepting those after mentioned:

a sojourner of the priests, or an hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy thing: by the former is not intended an Heathen, a proselyte of the gate, one that has renounced idolatry, and so permitted to live among the Israelites, of it uncircumcised, who is often understood by one that sojourneth in the gate, but here an Israelitish sojourner; and so the Targum of Jonathan expressly has it,

"a son of an Israelite, who is a sojourner of the priests;''

not that is a guest for a short time, or a boarder with him; for if he may not eat of the holy things, what must he live on while with him? but one that dwells in some part of his house: and by the latter is meant anyone that is hired by the day, or week, or year, and when the time is expired is at his liberty; though the Jewish writers commonly, and particularly Jarchi, interpret the sojourner of the servant that has his ear bored, and is bought with money, until the year of jubilee, and serves for ever; and the hireling of one that is purchased for years, and goes out in the sixth year; but the above objection will lie against these.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Stranger - One of another family. See Exodus 29:33 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 22:10. There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing — For the meaning of the word stranger, see the note on "Exodus 12:43". The Jews suppose that stranger here means one who has had his ear pierced, (see the note on "Exodus 21:6",) and that sojourner means a servant who is to go free on the Sabbatical year. Neither of these was permitted to eat of the holy things, because they were not properly members of the priest's family, and might go out and defile themselves even with the abominations of the heathen; but the servant or slave that was bought with money, Leviticus 22:10, might eat of these things, because he was the property of the master for ever.

We see that it was lawful, under the Mosaic economy, to have slaves under certain restrictions; but these were taken from among the heathen, and instructed in the true religion: hence we find, as in the above case, that they were reckoned as a part of the priest's own family, and treated as such. They certainly had privileges which did not extend either to sojourners or to hired servants; therefore their situation was incomparably better than the situation of the slaves under different European governments, of whose souls their pitiless possessors in general take no care, while they themselves venture to profess the Christian religion, and quote the Mosaic law in vindication of their system of slavery. How preposterous is such conduct! and how intolerable!
