Clarke's Leviticus 22:25 Bible Commentary
Their corruption is in them - Viz., they are bruised, crushed, broken, etc.
Barnes's Leviticus 22:25 Bible Commentary
A stranger's hand - The word here rendered "stranger", is not the same as that in Leviticus 22:10, Leviticus 22:18 : it means literally, "the son of the unknown", and probably refers to one dwelling in another land who desired to show respect to the God of Israel. See 1 Kings 8:41.
Wesley's Leviticus 22:25 Bible Commentary
22:25 A stranger's hand - From proselytes: even from those, such should not be accepted, much less from the Israelites. The bread of your God - That is, the sacrifices.
