The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:16-27

The sanctity of the service of God. The peace offering may be offered for thanksgiving, in which case it has appropriate ceremonies ( Leviticus 7:12-15 ). There is also the peace offering of a vow, the ceremonies of which are the same as those of the voluntary offering ( Leviticus 7:16 ; also Le Leviticus 19:5-8 ).

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:22-27

Repetition of the prohibition of eating the fat and the blood, addressed to the people in the midst of the instructions to the priests. Ye shall eat no manner of fat must be taken to mean none of the fat already specified, that is, the internal fat, and, in the case of the sheep, the tail; It is uncertain whether the law as to fat was regarded as binding upon the Israelites after they had settled in Palestine. Probably it was silently abrogated; but the prohibition of Mood was undoubtedly... read more

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.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:25

To eat of the fat of which men offer an offering made with fire unto the Lord, is to rob God of his chosen offering. The injunction condemns sacrilege in all its forms. Whoever takes to his own use things dedicated to God, "eats the fat;" and" the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:23

This is emphatically addressed to the people. They were not to eat in their own meal what belonged to the altar of Yahweh, nor what was the perquisite of the priests. See Leviticus 7:33-36. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 7:23-24

Leviticus 7:23-24. The general prohibition of eating fat, (Leviticus 3:17,) is here explained of those kinds of creatures which were sacrificed. The fat of others they might eat. And ( Lev 7:24 ) he shows that this prohibition reached not only to the fat of those beasts which were offered to God, but also of those that died, or were killed at home. 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
