Unto a stranger, i.e. to one of another family, who is no priest. Yet the priests wife, though of another family, might eat. The reason of which difference is, because the with passeth into the name, state, and privileges of her husband, from whom the family is denominated and esteemed.

If the priest’s daughter also be [married] to a stranger,…. Not to an Heathen, but to any Israelite, that is, a common man, or a layman, as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, one that is not a priest; but is married either to a Levite, or an Israelite, as Jarchi:
she may not eat of an offering of the holy things; the heave shoulder or wave breast, &c. being removed into another family by marriage, she is not reckoned of her father’s family, and so had no more a right to eat of the holy things.

(12) If the priests daughter also be married.Better, And if the priests daughter be married, By marrying a Hebrew of non-Aaronic descent, and thus leaving her paternal home, the daughter of the priest ceased to be part of the family circle, and lost her right to partake of the holy things. Her bread came from her husband, and she could therefore no longer partake of the priests bread. During the second Temple the term stranger in this verse was also interpreted to include a man who ought to be a stranger to her, and hence it was enacted that if the priests daughter had gone astray with a stranger (see Lev. 21:7; Lev. 21:9), she is for ever forbidden to eat of the holy food.

12. Married unto a stranger As above, the stranger is a non-Levite. The daughter of the priest, in this case, passes from a priestly into a common family, where she remains if she has children, even though a widow or divorced. If the family is broken up, and she is left childless, it becomes the duty of her father to support her as if she had remained a virgin. Since the daughter of a priest was not an heiress of landed estates, her marriage with a non-Levite is not prohibited by Num 36:8, which applies only to heiresses.
