Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 22:19

Leviticus 22:19. Ye shall offer it at your own will This is better rendered by the Seventy, the Arabic, and other versions, In order to its being accepted ye shall offer a male. And so we render the same word לרצון , leratson, in the next verse. Males were required in burnt-offerings: but females were accepted in peace-offerings and sin-offerings. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-33

Animals for sacrifice (22:17-33)All animals offered in sacrifice to God had to be the best available. The only exception concerned the freewill offering, for in that case the state of the animal was an indication of the offerer’s state of heart (17-25).Sacrificial animals had to be at least a week old, to ensure that they were normal and healthy.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 22:19

19. Ye shall offer at your own will—rather, to your being accepted. a male without blemish—This law (Leviticus 1:3) is founded on a sense of natural propriety, which required the greatest care to be taken in the selection of animals for sacrifice. The reason for this extreme caution is found in the fact that sacrifices are either an expression of praise to God for His goodness, or else they are the designed means of conciliating or retaining His favor. No victim that was not perfect in its kind... read more

The offerings of the priests 22:17-25Another list of seven selected laws appears with the principle stated at the end (Leviticus 22:25). Certain animals were not acceptable as sacrifices under any circumstances. Other animals were acceptable for some sacrifices but not for others. Generally the more important the offering, the higher were the requirements for the sacrificial animal. Only the best sacrifices were suitable for presentation to the Lord since He is worthy of only the very best. read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:1-33

THE LAW OF PRIESTLY HOLINESSLeviticus 21:1-24; Leviticus 22:1-33THE conception of Israel as a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, was concretely represented in a threefold division of the people, -the congregation, the priesthood, and the high priest. This corresponded to the threefold division of the tabernacle into the outer court, the holy place, and the holy of holies, each in succession more sacred than the place preceding. So while all Israel was called to be a priestly nation, holy to... read more
