The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:2

If any man of you bring. Sacrifices are not now being instituted for the first time. Burnt offerings at least, if not peace offerings, had existed since the time of the Fall. The Levitical law lays down regulations adapting an already existing practice for the use of the Israelitish nation; it begins, therefore, not with a command, "Thou shalt bring," but, if any man of you (according to custom) bring. Any member of the congregation might bring his voluntary offering when he would. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:2

Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock." Here is the great fundamental principle, as it were the preamble of the law of offerings. Notice— I. THE DIVINE LAW IS UNIVERSAL . "Any man of you." No respect of persons with God. Same law to rich and poor, wise and unwise, as to its essential requirements. These private offerings ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:2-17

The true end of sacrifice,-entire consecration to God. We shall reach the end for which God introduced all that apparatus of Divine worship so elaborately described in this book if we take the following steps:— I. THE SEPARATING PRESENCE OF SIN IN THE HEART AND LIFE OF MAN . But for the sin which "separates between us and our God" there would have been unrestrained communion between man and his Maker in every age and land: no need of mediation, of special... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:2-17

Principles of spiritual sacrifice. All who know God are engaged, frequently, if not continually, in sacrificing unto him. Here are principles of sacrifice by which we may be guided. I. THAT GOD DESIRES AND DEMANDS THE BEST WE CAN BRING . If the offering were of the herd, it was to be a "male without blemish" ( Leviticus 1:3 ); so also if of the flock ( Leviticus 1:10 ). Not that which was of small account and could be well spared, but the worthiest and best. ... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 1:2

Speak unto the children of Israel - It is important to observe that these first instructions Leviticus 1:2-3:17 are addressed expressly to the individual who felt the need of sacrifice on his own account. They were not delivered through the priests, nor had the officiating priest any choice as to what he was to do. He was only to examine the victim to see that it was perfect Leviticus 22:17-24, and to perform other strictly prescribed duties Leviticus 6:8-7:21. The act of offering was to be... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 1:2

Leviticus 1:2. Divers kinds of sacrifices are here prescribed, some by way of acknowledgment to God for mercies either desired or received; others by way of satisfaction to God for men’s sins; others were mere exercises of devotion. And the reason why so many kinds of them were appointed was, partly a respect to the childish state of the Jews, who, by the custom of nations, and their own natural inclinations, were much addicted to outward rites and ceremonies, that they might have full... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

1:1-7:38 THE OFFERINGSThe burnt offering (1:1-17)Of all the offerings, the burnt offering was the most ancient. It had been in general use among God’s people long before Moses set out laws to regulate it. The offerings of Noah, Abraham and the Israelites in Egypt were all earlier forms of this sacrifice (Genesis 8:20; Genesis 22:2; Exodus 10:25). It was called the burnt offering because all the flesh was burnt upon the altar. None of it was eaten.Thanksgiving, devotion and atonement were all in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 1:1-2

"And Jehovah called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man of you offereth an oblation unto Jehovah, ye shall offer your oblation of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock.""And Jehovah called unto Moses ..." This is the correct order of the Hebrew words in this passage, the connective "and" indicating that Leviticus continues the narrative "at the end of Exodus."[4] This coordinate conjunction... read more
