6. Instructions for the priests concerning the offerings 6:8-7:38"The five basic sacrifices are . . . introduced twice, each sacrifice being treated both in the main section addressed to the people [Leviticus 1:1 to Leviticus 6:7] and in the supplementary section addressed to the priests [Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 7:38]." [Note: Lindsey, p. 172.] The main theme of this section is who may eat what parts of the offerings and where. Generally only the priests could eat the sacrifices, but the... read more
The law of the peace (fellowship) offering for the priests 7:11-36This is the only offering that ordinary Israelites could eat, but the priests also ate a part. This pericope clarifies who could eat what and when. For many Israelites eating the peace offering was probably the main, and perhaps the only, time they ate meat. Consequently this pericope also contains general regulations governing the consumption of meat (Leviticus 7:22-27)."The thanksgiving . . . gift [Leviticus 7:12] represented... read more
Directions to the Priests (continued)1-10. The Guilt Offering. Leviticus 7:8-10 refer to private offerings and the priest’s share in them.11-21. The Peace Offering. Three kinds of peace offerings are distinguished here, viz. the thank offering (Leviticus 7:12), and the votive and free will offerings (Leviticus 7:16). The former, as its name implies, would be presented after a benefit had been received; the latter, while the benefit was still expected, as an accompaniment of supplication.12. The... read more
(25) The fat of the beast of which men offer an offering.—That is, the fat of beeves, sheep, or goats. (See Leviticus 7:23.) If he did it presumptuously he incurred the penalty of excision, and if he did it inadvertently he was beaten with forty stripes save one, and had to bring the sin offering appointed. read more
THE PEACE OFFERINGLeviticus 3:1-17; Leviticus 7:11-34; Leviticus 19:5-8; Leviticus 22:21-25IN chapter 3 is given, though not with completeness, the law of the peace offering. The alternative rendering of this term, "thank offering" (marg. R.V), precisely expresses only one variety of the peace offering; and while it is probably impossible to find any one word that shall express in a satisfactory way the whole conception of this offering, it is not easy to find one better than the familiar term... read more
THE PROHIBITION OF FAT AND BLOODLeviticus 3:16-17; Leviticus 7:22-27; Leviticus 17:10-16And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savour: all the fat is the Lord’s. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saving, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat. And the fat of that... read more

THE LAW OF THE TRESPASS OFFERING (vv. 1-10) In common with all the other offerings, the trespass offering was “most holy.” It was to be killed in the same place as the burnt offering. Its blood was to be sprinkled all around on the altar. The fat tail, the fat that covered the entrails, the two kidneys and the fat that was on them, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver were to be removed and burnt on the altar by the priest. These all speak of characteristics of Christ that are entirely... read more
Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38
The law of the offerings (6:8-7:38)In the section known as ‘the law of the offerings’, the additional regulations were mainly for the benefit of the officiating priests. These regulations have already been dealt with in the discussion on the preceding chapters. Although the present chapters list the offerings in a slightly different order from the earlier chapters, the same five categories are dealt with: the burnt offering (6:8-13; see notes on 1:1-17), the cereal offering (6:14-23; see notes... read more
