利未记 22:20-21 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-33

Here are four laws concerning sacrifices:? I. Whatever was offered in sacrifice to God should be without blemish, otherwise it should not be accepted. This had often been mentioned in the particular institutions of the several sorts of offerings. Now here they are told what was to be accounted a blemish which rendered a beast unfit for sacrifice: if it was blind, or lame, had a wen, or the mange (Lev. 22:22),?if it was bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut (Lev. 22:24), that is, as the Jewish... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:20

For whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer ,.... Which is the general rule, the particulars of which are after given, and which has been imitated by the Heathens. The Egyptians, as they only sacrificed the males of beeves, so they were very curious in examining them, that they might be entirely pure and perfect F19 Heredot. Euterpe, sive, l. 2. c. 38. ; and it was a custom among the Romans, that such sheep should be chosen for sacrifice, in which there was nothing wanting ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:21

And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offering unto the Lord ,.... This, as Ben Gersom observes, is distinguished from a burnt offering; for though it was to be perfect, and without blemish, yet not obliged to be a male as that, Leviticus 3:1 . This was either by way of thanksgiving for mercies received, Leviticus 7:12 , or to accomplish his vow ; made in any distress, that if God would deliver him, then he would offer such a sacrifice: or a freewill offering ; either on... read more

Holiness of priests and sacrifices. While much that appertained only to a temporary dispensation, still great principles included in the formal regulations, as— I. RELIGION SANCTIFIES , preserves, and perfects the whole humanity of man. 1 . It preserves the true order—God first, the creature subject to the Creator. 2 . It utilizes the central power of human nature, the moral and spiritual The mind is the man, and the mind is not mere intellect, but moral consciousness and... read more

Priestly disqualifications. cf. Matthew 25:31-46 . We saw that inherited infirmity, such as is mentioned in Matthew 25:18-21 of last chapter, while it excludes from office, does not exclude from sustenance. We now come across a disqualification sufficient to exclude from both office and support, and this is contracted defilement. Any priest venturing before God with uncleanness upon him will be cut off from his presence. We are taught hereby— I. THAT IT IS CONTRACTED , ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-25

Just as the priests who offer to the Lord are to be ceremonially and morally holy, so the animals offered to him are to be physically perfect, in order Whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer. The list of blemishes and malformations which exclude from the altar is given; they are such as deform the animal, and make it less valuable: blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, nor any animal that is bruised, or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-25

The perfection demanded in the sacrificial victims contains a typical, a symbolical, and a moral lesson. I. THEY MUST BE PERFECT , THAT THEY MAY BE TYPES OF CHRIST . The perfect Victim must not be represented by anything imperfect. There are but few points in which the perfection of Christ, both absolute and in relation to the work which as the appointed Victim he was to fulfil, could be foreshadowed by the animals offered in sacrifice, but this was one—that they... read more

Characteristics of acceptable service. The very fact that all the points here referred to have been fully brought out before lends strong emphasis to them as matters of vital importance in the estimation of God. If our worship and service are to be acceptable, there must be— I. SPONTANEITY OF SPIRIT . "Ye shall offer at your own will" ( Leviticus 22:19 ); "when ye will offer … offer it at your own will" ( Leviticus 22:29 ). There is a wilfulness in worship which is blamable... read more

Laws of the oblations. These naturally follow those concerning the priests, which form the subject of the earlier portion of this chapter. They may be considered— I. WITH RESPECT TO THE SACRIFICES . 1 . These must be the animals prescribed. 2 . They must be individuals without blemish. 3 . Blemished creatures may be given as free-will offerings. II. WITH RESPECT TO THEIR OFFERING . 1 . They may not be offered till after the eighth day. ... read more
