The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:34

The Law and the gospel. 1 . It may be rightly said that true religion is essentially the same everywhere and at all times. Whithersoever and whensoever we look, we shall find the same cardinal elements—the fear of God, the love of God, respect for our own spiritual nature, regard for the rights and claims of others, abstinence from that which is immoral, kindness and helpfulness, etc. 2 . It may also be truly said that in the Law there was much more than many have supposed of those... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 27:34

Leviticus 27:34. These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai This has reference to the whole book. Many of these commandments are moral; others ceremonial, and peculiar to the Jewish economy; which yet are instructive to us, who have a key to the mysteries that are contained in them. Upon the whole, we have cause to bless God that we are not come to mount Sinai, that we are not under the dark shadows of the law, but enjoy the clear... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

Valuations for things vowed (27:1-34)People often vowed things to God out of gratitude for his goodness to them, usually in some crisis they had met. If the offering vowed was a person, this person was not to be offered in sacrifice but was to be redeemed, or bought back, by the payment of money to the sanctuary. The amount to be paid was estimated by the priests according to the usefulness of the person offered. The priests were to give special consideration to a poor person who could not pay... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 27:34

"These are the commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai."This is indeed an appropriate ending for Leviticus, and it has the effect of tying all of the regulations to the Sinaitic covenant. "It is in accord with the total impression given by Leviticus, that it consists of laws given to Moses (by Almighty God) for Israel at Sinai."[17] "This final verse is a repetition of the concluding verse of Leviticus 26, and has the effect of showing that this... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:34

34. These are the commandments, c.—The laws contained in this book, for the most part ceremonial, had an important spiritual bearing, the study of which is highly instructive (Romans 10:4 Hebrews 4:2; Hebrews 12:18). They imposed a burdensome yoke (Acts 15:10), but yet in the infantine age of the Church formed the necessary discipline of "a schoolmaster to Christ" [Acts 15:10- :]. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 27:1-34

H. DIRECTIONS CONCERNING VOWS ch. 27The blessings and curses (ch. 26) were in a sense God’s vows to His people. This chapter deals with His people’s vows to Him. Another connection between these chapters is that in times of divine discipline (Leviticus 26:14-33) people tend to make vows to God. Chapter 27 shows how God wanted the Israelites to honor their vows. [Note: Wenham, The Book . . ., p. 336.] "The directions concerning vows follow the express termination of the Sinaitic lawgiving (chap.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 27:30-34

4. The redemption of tithes 27:30-34God claimed as His possession one tenth of the seed, fruit, and livestock of the Israelites. If the owner wished to keep some of this himself, he had to pay the value of what he kept to God plus 20 percent. This tithe was a commonly recognized obligation to God and for this reason it was not part of the Mosaic Law (cf. Genesis 14:20; Genesis 28:22). This was one of two tithes the Israelites had to pay (cf. Deuteronomy 14:22-27), the other being the tithe they... read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

Vows and Tithes and their Redemption1-29. Law of vows and their redemption.The making of vows is a very ancient and universal practice connected with prayer. In order to secure his desire the suppliant adds a vow to his prayer. Vows may be either positive or negative. A man may promise either to devote something to God, or to abstain from some comfort or necessary of life. Instances of the latter, vows of abstinence, are to be found in Numbers 6:1-21; Numbers 30; 1 Samuel 14:24; Psalms 132:2-5,... read more
