Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 18:10
In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
10. As the most holy things ] An improbable rendering, since the sacrifices in question have just been described ( Num 18:9) by the term ‘the most holy things.’ Render: in a most holy place. This evidently denotes the court of the tabernacle (cf. Lev 6:16; Lev 6:26; Lev 7:6), though it usually stands for the innermost shrine.

In the most holy place – Rather, among the most holy things; as in Num 4:4 : i. e. As the most holy of things shalt thou eat it. Accordingly, only the males of the priestly families could eat of the things here specified.

In the most holy place, to wit, in the court of the priests, where there were places for this use; see Lev 6:16,17,26; 7:6; 8:31; 14:13; Neh 13:5,9; Eze 42:13; which is called the most holy place, not simply and absolutely, as the place within the veil was, but in respect of the thing he speaks of, because this was the most holy of all the places appointed for caring of holy things, whereof some might be catch in any clean place in the camp, Lev 10:14, or in their own houses. And as the most holy place is sometimes called simply holy, so it is not strange if a holy place be called most holy, especially this place which was near to the altar of burnt-offerings, which is called most holy, and made all that touched it holy, Exo 29:37. And God would have these things eaten by them in a holy place, as in Gods presence, that they might be obliged to the greater caution, and not to abuse Gods good creatures, and especially holy things, to intemperance; and that they might learn to eat this and their other food with thankfulness to God the giver of it, and with respect to his service and glory, which was afterward prescribed to Christians, 1Co 10:31; 1Ti 4:3.
Every male, and they only; whereas of peace-offerings the females might eat their share, Deu 12:18.

In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it,…. Not in the holy of holies, eminently so called, nor in the holy place, for they were neither of them places to eat in; but in the tent of the congregation, as Aben Ezra, or court, as Jarchi; called most holy, in distinction from and in comparison of the camp of Israel, and their tents, as afterwards of Jerusalem, and their houses there, where they might not eat the most holy things:
every male shall eat it; the sons of priests, and they only, not their wives, nor their daughters, and therefore not to be eaten at home, or in their own houses:
it shall be holy unto thee; separated only for the use of him and his sons.
