The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Trespasses done wittingly. These were acts of lying, fraud, deceit, violence, or any social wrong involving conscious trespass on the rights of our neighbour. I. SOCIAL MORALITY RESTS UPON RELIGION . Offenses against neighbours, offenses against God. No true support of society apart from faith. Follies of the modern skeptical school. Enthusiasm of humanity, atheism, development of morality out of a physical basis,—mere dreams of the intellect. Facts of history show that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:4

As before, the profit gained by fraud or violence is to be given up, and with it a fine is to be paid, amounting to one-fifth of the value of the thing appropriated. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:5

In the day of his trespass offering is a better rendering than that of the margin, "in the day of his being found guilty," or" in the day of his trespass." The reparation is to take place, and immediately afterwards the offering is accepted. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:5

Repentance, confession, satisfaction, absolution, follow each other in order. Without repentance confession is vain; without confession satisfaction is impracticable; without satisfaction there is no absolution. In the present case, the sense of absolution was conveyed to the soul of the sinner by the acceptance of his offering for trespass, after which he ceased to be, what he was before, virtually excommunicate from God's people. The greater moral offenses were punished either by death (... read more

In the day of his trespass offering - The restitution was thus to be associated with the religious act by which the offender testified his penitence. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 6:5

Leviticus 6:5. In the day of his trespass-offering It must not be delayed, but restitution to man must accompany repentance toward God. Wherever wrong has been done, restitution must be made, and till it is made, to the utmost of our power, we cannot look for forgiveness; for the keeping of what is unjustly gotten, avows the taking: and both together make but one continued act of unrighteousness. read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

The guilt offering (5:14-6:7)Regulations concerning the guilt offering (GNB: repayment offering) were similar to those for the sin offering made by non-priestly individuals, except that no gradations were allowed (7:1-10; see notes on 4:22-35).Like the sin offering, the guilt offering was offered when people realized they had committed sin unknowingly. But the guilt offering differed from the sin offering in that it was offered in cases where the wrongdoing involved money or things of monetary... read more

add. See note on Leviticus 5:16 . fifth part = twenty per cent. Zacchseus gave much more (Luke 19:8 ). in the day = when. See App-18 . Note the order of the "offerings", and their "laws". In the former (God's side), "peace" made, comes in centre. In the latter, "sin" comes before "peace" experienced. See note on Leviticus 7:11 . read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 6:4

Leviticus 6:4. Because he hath sinned and is guilty— Some render this, whenever he shall have thus sinned, and is sensible of his guilt, he shall restore, &c. It might perhaps be rendered as nearly to the Hebrew, it shall be, that he who shall have thus sinned, and become liable to punishment, shall restore, &c. The law, however, appears to refer to a voluntary acknowledgment of guilt; see Numbers 5:7. REFLECTIONS.—A variety of trespasses against our neighbour are mentioned, which,... read more
