your God his portion of your sacrifices: let them be holy, therefore, because holy am I, the LORD, who have hallowed them [LXX, Vulg.] to myself. This verse in our public version, is a singular instance of the absurdity of a verbal translation. Who is holy? the husband, according to the version; but any one of the priests according to the text. The enallage, therefore, ought not to have been followed; and the following it here, and in six hundred other places, renders the translation obscure and ambiguous.-Geddes. Booth.-7 They shall not take a harlot, or one dishonoured, for a wife; nor shall they take a woman divorced from her husband; for they are hallowed to their God. 8 Ye shall, therefore, account them holy; because they offer the portion of your God; holy shall they be to you, because I, Jehovah, who have hallowed them, am holy.
