Musar for Sanhedrin 165:9
האוכל את הטבל מנלן דאמר שמואל משום ר"א מניין לאוכל את הטבל שהוא במיתה דכתיב (ויקרא כב, טו) ולא יחללו את קדשי בני ישראל [את] אשר ירימו לה' בעתידים לתרום הכתוב מדבר
Now it follows that not even a negative precept is transgressed for pouring and mingling [under the conditions enumerated]; but it has been taught: Whence do we derive a negative precept for the pouring and mingling [of the oil by an unclean priest]? — From the verse, They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane [the name of their God]?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XXI, 6. This is referred to the performance of one of these services whilst unclean. ');"><sup>9</sup></span>
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
Commandment 284 forbids both the Israelite and the priest to eat untithed produce. The operative verse is: ולא יחללו את קדשי בני ישראל את אשר ירימו לה' "They shall not profane the sacred donations which the Israelites will set aside for the Lord" (22,15). The traditional explanation is that the verse discusses the eating of untithed produce. The future tense of the word ירימו alludes to produce which is still to be set aside as sacred and meanwhile has not yet been set aside.
