MALCHUT: MITZVA 402

MITZVA 402 That an uncircumcised person shall not eat of the t’rumah (heave offering), and the same applies to other holy things. This rule is inferred from the law of the Paschal offering, by similarity of phrase (Ex. 12:44-45 and Lev. 22:10) but it is not explicitly set forth in the Torah. Traditionally, it has been learnt that the rule that the uncircumcised must not eat holy things is an essential principle of the Torah and not an enactment of the Scribes (negative).

Exodus Chapter 12 שְׁמוֹת

מד  וְכָל-עֶבֶד אִישׁ, מִקְנַת-כָּסֶף–וּמַלְתָּה אֹתוֹ, אָז יֹאכַל בּוֹ.

44 but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

מה  תּוֹשָׁב וְשָׂכִיר, לֹא-יֹאכַל בּוֹ.

45 A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.

Leviticus Chapter 22 וַיִּקְרָא

י  וְכָל-זָר, לֹא-יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ; תּוֹשַׁב כֹּהֵן וְשָׂכִיר, לֹא-יֹאכַל קֹדֶשׁ.

10 There shall no common man eat of the holy thing; a tenant of a priest, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
