The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:3-32

Honour to whom honor. It is uncertain whether we shall receive the honour which is due to us. Possibly we may be denied some to which we are entitled; probably we have experienced this wrong already, in larger or smaller measure, and know the pain of heart which attends it. Let us, therefore, resolve that we will give that which is due to others. The two passages connected in the text remind us that we should pay deference to— I. THOSE WHO CARRY THE WEIGHT OF YEARS .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:3-37

The holy Law in the holy life. I. REVERENCE FOR PARENTS . True religion is seen in common, everyday life. If we love God, we love man. Family peace and order is best preserved by appeal to deep, religious motives. Natural affection is not sufficient against fallen human nature. "God says, Thou shalt," must be the support of natural feeling. II. SABBATH KEEPING . Not as a Jewish regulation, but as both the demand of physical nature and the gracious provision of God for us.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:9-14

Kindliness. In the earlier portion of this chapter purity of worship, with its associated reverence for the authority of God, in his representatives, viz. natural parents, and his institutions, as the sabbath, are enjoined. In the verses following our duties towards our fellows come more prominently before us, and in the text that class of those duties whose spirit is kindliness. Charity is sister to piety. We have here enjoined— I. A GENEROUS CONSIDERATION FOR THE POOR . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:9-34

Considerateness. We gather from these verse— I. THAT THE FEAR OF GOD WILL SURELY LEAD TO THE LOVE OF MAN . That piety which begins and ends in acts of devotion is one that may be reasonably suspected: it is not of the scriptural order. True piety is in consulting the will of the heavenly Father ( Matthew 7:21 ), and his will is that we should love and be kind to one another ( Ephesians 4:32 ). Philanthropy is a word which may not have its synonym in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:11

Stealing, cheating, and lying are classed together as kindred sins (see Leviticus 6:2 , where an example is given of theft performed by means of lying; cf. Ephesians 4:25 ; Colossians 3:9 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:11-36

Stealing is forbidden by the law of man, and by the Law of God. It is forbidden by the law of man in order to prevent injury being done to a citizen, and its sanction is fear of punishment. Remove the fear of punishment, and the goods of another will no longer be respected. It is forbidden by the Law of God because it is displeasing to God; because honesty and uprightness are in themselves right; because to defraud another is in itself wrong. Take away the fear of punishment, and there... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:11-36

Integrity. The Jews have always been considered a cunning and crafty race; they have been credited with a willingness to overreach in business dealings. Men would rather have transactions with others than with them, lest they should find themselves worsted in the bargain. This suspicion may be well founded; but if it be so, it ought to be remembered that it is the consequence of the long and cruel disadvantages under which they have suffered, and is not clue to anything in their own blood... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:12

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely. These words contain a positive permission to swear, or take a solemn oath, by the Name of God, and a prohibition to swear falsely by it (see Matthew 5:33 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:12

Name of thy God, contains three injunctions: First, a command that on due occasions we are to make appeal to God by solemn oath; secondly, a prohibition of perjury; thirdly, a command to reverence God's Name. I. TO SWEAR BY GOD 'S NAME IS COMMANDED , AS BEING A RECOGNITION OF HIM AS SUPREME LORD . Thus in Deuteronomy we read, "Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his Name" ( Deuteronomy 6:13 ); in the Psalms, "Every one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 19:13

Cheating and stealing are again forbidden, and, together with these, other forms of oppression although legal. The command to pay labourers their hire promptly—which covers also the case of paying tradesmen promptly—is repeated in Deuteronomy 24:14 (cf. James 5:4 ). read more
