The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:8-30

Quench not the Spirit. Cf. Ephesians 4:30 ; I Thessalonians Ephesians 5:19 . We have here sundry sacrificial laws enabling us the better to understand the details of the preceding sacrifices; but the cardinal idea in them all, as we shall now see, is that which heads this homily, "Quench not the Spirit." And— I. THE FIRE OF THE BURNT OFFERING WAS TO BE CAREFULLY PRESERVED , SO THAT IT SHOULD NEVER GO OUT . This necessitated a regular removal of... read more

Further ritual of the sin offering (see note on Leviticus 4:2 ). The flesh of the sin offerings is to be eaten by the priests and the males of their families in the holy place, that is, within the precincts of the sanctuary, with the exception of the sin offerings of the high priest and of the congregation, whereof … the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place , which was to be burnt in the fire without the camp.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:24-30

The law of the sin offering. This law comprehends a variety of particulars, which may be ranged under two heads— I. As IT RESPECTS THE BLEEDING . The particulars under this head are: 1 . The place: "Where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed." 2 . The presence: "Before the Lord" ( Leviticus 6:25 ). 3 . The reason: "It is most holy" ( Leviticus 6:25 ). What?

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:24-30

Special regulations as to the sin offering. Peculiar sanctity of the flesh and blood of the sin offering, pointing to the atonement. In all cases, whether the sin offering of the people, or of the priest, or of the great day of atonement, the same holiness of the victim and of the blood is insisted upon. Here there is— I. THE NECESSITY OF ATONEMENT . 1 . As prescribed by God, coming forth from his infinite holiness. 2 . As connected with mediation, not in atonement... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:25-29

The holiness of the sin offering. This offering was to expiate offenses committed directly against God, and which involved, therefore, the deeper wrong. A peculiar sacredness attached to the sacrifice. Only the priests might partake of it, for it was "most holy." As all Christians are made "priests unto God," it is permitted them to feed upon him who died to save them from sin. They live by faith in the Son of God. Union with their Divine Lord consecrates them, imperishable principles... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:27-29

Communicated sanctity. When any victim had been presented in sacrifice to God, and had been slain, its blood (the "blood of atonement"), and also its flesh, became "most holy" ( Leviticus 6:29 ). And whatsoever was touched by the one or the other received, in virtue of such contact, a communicated sanctity ( Leviticus 6:27 , Leviticus 6:28 ). The lesson here conveyed is that whatsoever comes into close association with a holy one or a holy thing does thereby acquire a measure of... read more
