The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 17:10-13

The eating of blood is strictly prohibited; Therefore our Lord's words must have sounded so much the more strange in the ears of the Jews, when he said, "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you" ( John 6:53 ). The reason why blood may not be eaten is that the life of the flesh is its blood ( Leviticus 17:11 ). Eating the blood was the same thing as eating the life of the animal. Therefore his Jewish auditors would understand our Lord to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 17:10-16

Atoning death. We have here a repetition of a law which had already been twice delivered ( Leviticus 3:17 ; Leviticus 7:23-26 ). Its full and formal restatement is very significant, and this the more because of the emphatic utterance of Divine displeasure in the event of disobedience. "I will even set my face against that soul … and will cut him off," etc. ( Leviticus 17:10 ). Obviously, the highest importance was attached by God to the observance of this injunction not to eat "any... read more

Leviticus 17:11 , "The life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul." I. THE NATURAL BASIS OF ATONEMENT . 1 . The preciousness of life. The blood is the seat of life. 2 . The exchange of the altar, blood for life, a lower for a higher, requires a supplementary value, which is represented by the altar itself. 3 . The law proclaimed at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 17:12

This verse emphatically restates that the atoning power of the blood, as being the seat of life, is the reason that the eating of it is forbidden, and the same statement is repeated in a different connexion in Leviticus 17:14 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 17:13-14

Negatively, it has been ordered that blood shall not be eaten; positively, that it is to be offered to God. But there may be cases where the latter command cannot be caused out, as when animals are killed in hunting. On such occasions the man who kills the animal, whether he be an Israelite or a sojourner, is to pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust, regarding it as a sacred thing. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 17:15-16

There is still another possible case. The blood of an animal may not have been shed, or not shed in such a way as to make it flow abundantly, as when the animal has died a natural death, or been killed by wild beasts. In this case, as the blood still remains in the body, the flesh may not be eaten without defilement. The defilement may be cleansed by the unclean man washing his clothes and bathing, but if he neglect to do this, he shall bear his iniquity, that is, undergo the consequence... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 17:10-14

The prohibition to eat blood is repeated in seven places in the Pentateuch, but in this passage two distinct grounds are given for the prohibition: first, its own nature as the vital fluid; secondly, its consecration in sacrificial worship.Leviticus 17:11Rather, For the soul of the flesh is in the blood; and I have ordained it for you upon the altar, to make atonement for your souls, for the blood it is which makes atonement by means of the soul. In the Old Testament there are three words... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 17:15

This law appears to be grounded on the fact that the body of an animal killed by a wild beast, or which has died of itself, still retains a great portion of its blood. The importance ascribed to this law in later times may be seen in 1 Samuel 14:32-35; Ezekiel 4:14; Ezekiel 44:31, and still more in the apostolic decision regarding “things strangled,” which are pointedly connected with blood Acts 15:20. read more

Leviticus 17:15. That eateth Through ignorance or inadvertency; for if it was done knowingly, it was more severely punished. A stranger Who is a proselyte to the Jewish religion: other strangers were allowed to eat such things, (Deuteronomy 14:21,) out of which the blood was either not drawn at all, or not regularly. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 17:1-16

Sacredness of blood (17:1-16)The blood ritual of the Day of Atonement shows the importance of animal blood in God’s sight. The blood of the animal signified the death of the animal. Therefore, when Israelites wanted to kill animals from their flocks or herds to obtain meat, they were not to slaughter the animals thoughtlessly, but bring them to the tabernacle altar and kill them as peace offering. Thus, besides getting their meat, they acknowledged God in an act of worship. An additional... read more
