Leviticus 22:10 No stranger shall eat of the sanctified things: a sojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of them.

Sojourner. "Guest," or friend, Syriac. None but priests could taste this meat, except they were going to remain in the family for ever. Hence servants and slaves of the Jewish nation, who would one day regain their liberty, are excluded.
