John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:22

And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it ,.... The successor of the high priest: it is a statute for ever unto the Lord ; which he by an everlasting statute appointed to be offered to him by every high priest, until the Messiah should come: it shall be wholly burnt ; of a common meat offering only a handful was burnt, and the rest was the priest's; see Leviticus 6:15 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:23

For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt ,.... Wherefore the priest that offered this for the high priest got nothing by it: he served him gratis: it shall not be eaten ; neither by himself, nor any other priest. The priests by eating the offerings of the people bore their iniquities, and made atonement for them, Leviticus 10:17 but the priests might not eat their own sacrifices, to show that they could not bear their own sins, and make atonement for them; and this... read more

Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, saying, this is the law of the sin offering ,.... Or the rules to be observed concerning that, besides what had been already delivered in Leviticus 4:1 , in the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the Lord ; and that was on the north side of the altar, see Leviticus 1:11 and so Aben Ezra and Ben Gersom observe, that the place of slaying every sin offering was the north; and some have observed that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:26

The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it ,.... Thereby signifying that he bore the sin of the person that brought the offering, and made atonement for it; as a type of Christ, who bore the sins of his people in his own body on the tree, and made satisfaction for them; see Leviticus 10:17 . This is to be understood not of that single individual priest only that was the offerer, but of him and his family; for, as Ben Gersom observes, it was impossible for one man to eat all the flesh... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:27

Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy ,.... None but holy persons, such as were devoted to holy services, even the priests and their sons, might touch and eat of the flesh of the sin offering: all that did so were sacred persons; and even what were used in eating it, dishes and knives, were to be put to no other use, not to any common service, or for anything but holy things; which was done to keep up a veneration for the sacrifices, and especially for the great sacrifice... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:28

But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken ,.... That being porous, the liquor in which the sin offering was boiled might soak into it, and the smell of it be retained, and therefore, as such vessels were not very costly, they were ordered to be broken; but where the broken pieces were carried and laid, the Jewish writers are at a loss about; for, that vessels, which had served for holy uses, should be laid in an open public place and exposed, they thought was indecent; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:29

And all the males among the priests shall eat thereof ,.... As of the meat offerings, Leviticus 6:18 and this shows that not the single priest that offered only ate of it, Leviticus 6:26 but his male children, and not those only, but those of other priests then upon duty, or in the court: it is most holy ; See Gill on Leviticus 6:25 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:30

And no sin offering , whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten ,.... Every offering, and so every sin offering, was killed in the court of the tabernacle, on the north side of the altar; and the blood of some of them, as on the day of atonement, was carried within the vail and sprinkled on the mercy seat for reconciling the holy place, and making atonement for it; now the flesh of such sin... read more
