וטעם בהרימכם את חלבו. וכבר הזכיר הכתוב זה לדבק אחריו ואכלתם אותו והטעם שהוא אסור לכם לאכול ממנו עד שתרימו חלבו ממנו ואחר שיחשב לכם אז תאכלוהו בכל מקום טהור: [WHEN YE SET APART THE BEST THEREOF.] This has already been mentioned by Scripture.54In the previous verse. It is repeated in order to connect it to that which follows. Its meaning is, you55The Levites. are prohibited to eat of it56From the tithe given to you. until you set apart the best thereof,57A tenth thereof. and afterwards it58The remainder. shall be counted [as the grain of the threshing floor] and you59The Levites. may eat it in every clean place.60I.E. interprets every place as in every clean place. However, according to the halakha the Levite may eat the remaining tithe even in a cemetery. See Rashi.
