The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:22-27

Instructions for the people on the fat and on the blood. The prohibition of fat was to secure the rights of Jehovah from invasion. The fat was a gift sanctified to God. The prohibition of the blood was to keep up the idea of atonement, the blood being regarded as the soul of the animal which God had appointed as the medium of atonement for the soul of man. Here is— I. THE SUPREMACY OF THE DIVINE CLAIMS . 1 . The recognition by the conscience in doctrine, in the... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 7:8-38

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 7:11-36

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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:1-38

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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 7:26

(26) Moreover ye shall eat. . . . —Better, and ye shall eat no blood in all your dwellings. That is, this law is binding upon the Israelites wherever they may dwell. (See Leviticus 3:17.)Whether it be of fowl or of beast.—It extends to all fowls and quadrupeds, whether they are legally prescribed as sacrifices or not; but not to fishes, locusts, creeping things, &c., which are not prescribed in the dietary laws as unclean. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 7:27

(27) That soul shall be cut off.—According to the law which obtained during the second Temple, the punishment of excision was only inflicted for eating the life-blood (see Leviticus 17:11), that is, the blood in which the life of the animal resides, and the loss of which causes death. For eating the blood found in the limbs, or in any internal portion of the body, a sin offering had to be brought, and the offender was beaten with stripes. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:11-34

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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:22-27

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
