利未記 27:11-13 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-13

This is part of the law concerning singular vows, extraordinary ones, which though God did not expressly insist on, yet, if they were consistent with and conformable to the general precepts, he would be well pleased with. Note, We should not only ask, What must we do, but, What may we do, for the glory and honour of God? As the liberal devises liberal things (Isa. 32:8), so the pious devises pious things, and the enlarged heart would willingly do something extraordinary in the service of so... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:11

And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the Lord ,.... Any creature, excepting a dog, the price of which was not to be brought into the house of the Lord; besides oxen, sheep, goats, rams, and lambs; though some understand it even of such that have blemishes on them, and so not fit to be offered unto the Lord; so Jarchi and others F24 Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Menachot, c. 12. sect. 1. : then he shall present the beast before the priest ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:12

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad ,.... Put a price upon it according to its worth, as it shall appear to him: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be ; that shall be the price at which it shall be sold, not to the owner or devoter of it, for he must give more, as appears from Leviticus 27:13 ; but, as Jarchi observes, to all other men who come to purchase it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:13

But if he will at all redeem it ,.... The owner of it, or he that has devoted it, if he is determined to have it again at any rate: then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation ; he shall give the full price for it, as rated by the priest, and for which it might be sold to another man, and a fifth part of the value of it besides; this was done that the full price might be paid for it, the priest not knowing, as it might be, the worth of it so well as the owner; and that... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:13

Shall add a fifth part - This was probably intended to prevent rash vows and covetous redemptions. The priest alone was to value the thing; and to whatever his valuation was, a fifth part must be added by him who wished to redeem the consecrated thing. Thus, if the priest valued it at forty shekels, if the former owner redeemed it he was obliged to give forty-eight. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:11

Verse 11 11.And if it be any unclean beast. Moses now, in the second place, treats of brute animals; which God commands to be sacrificed to Him, if they are suitable for it, and does not suffer the vow to be altered. But if they be imperfect or unclean, He lays down the rule for their redemption. But the question here arises, How it can be allowable to vow what God had forbidden to be offered to Him, and so had prohibited from being brought into the temple, as being unclean? Surely if it had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-25

Singular vows. The loving heart will ask not only what must, but what may, be done; and the sacrifices offered in the flames of love are acceptable to God ( 2 Chronicles 6:8 ). These are the principles which underlie the laws concerning singular vows. I. THE SINGULARITY LIES IN THE ELEMENT OF SEPARATION . 1 . Hence the subject of the vow is styled a Nazarite. 2 . Jesus was a Nazarite in spirit. 3 . So are true Christians. II. THINGS MAY BE... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-33

Spontaneous devotion. The relations between God and his ancient people were not so rigid as they are sometimes supposed to have been. It was not all enactment on the one hand, and obedience or disobedience on the other. We find illustration here— I. THAT THE LAW OF GOD LEAVES AMPLE ROOM FOR THE PLAY OF SPONTANEOUS DEVOTION . Under the inspiring influence of some signal mercies, individual or national, the Israelite might devote to God either This was to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

A man might vow to the service of God whatever he had a right over, that is, himself, his wife, his children, his slaves, his beasts, his houses, his fields. In case persons were vowed, the rule was that they should be redeemed at a certain price, though occasionally the redemption was not made. Vowing a person to God thus, was, as a rule, no more than vowing so much money to the use of the sanctuary as was fixed as the price of the redemption of the person vowed. Yet there is a great... read more
