The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:10-13

The offering from the flocks. Sheep or goat. This is a repetition of the same law as applied to the offering of lower value. The great spiritual fact is thus set forth that God is no respecter of persons. His Law applies to all sorts and conditions of men, and his grace is coextensive with his Law. The rich man's offering and the poor man's substantially the same. The only unchangeable condition is the relation of the offering to the offerer. It must represent sincere, heartfelt surrender... read more

The burnt offering of the flock and of the fowls. The ceremony of the offering of the flock is almost identical with that of the herd described in the verses preceding.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 1:10

Of the flocks - These directions are more brief than those for the bullock. The burnt-offering of the sheep must have been that with which the people were most familiar in the daily morning and evening service. Exodus 29:38-42. Sheep were preferred for sacrifice when they could be obtained, except in some special sin-offerings in which goats were required Leviticus 4:23; Leviticus 9:3; Leviticus 16:5. The lamb “without blemish” is a well-known type of Christ. Heb 9:14; 1 Peter 1:19. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

1:1-7:38 THE OFFERINGSThe burnt offering (1:1-17)Of all the offerings, the burnt offering was the most ancient. It had been in general use among God’s people long before Moses set out laws to regulate it. The offerings of Noah, Abraham and the Israelites in Egypt were all earlier forms of this sacrifice (Genesis 8:20; Genesis 22:2; Exodus 10:25). It was called the burnt offering because all the flesh was burnt upon the altar. None of it was eaten.Thanksgiving, devotion and atonement were all in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 1:10-13

"And if his oblation be of the flock, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall offer it a male without blemish. And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood upon the altar round about. And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 1:1-17

[See the Chapter Comments for Leviticus Chapter 1 for introductory information]1. The burnt offering ch. 1The burnt offering (in Greek, holokautoma, from which we get the English word "holocaust") expressed the offerer’s complete consecration to Yahweh (cf. Matthew 22:37; Romans 12:1-2) and God’s complete acceptance of the worshiper. However it also made atonement for the offerer. Some rabbis believed the burnt offering atoned for all sins not covered under the sin offering. [Note: Rooker, p.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:1-17

The Burnt OfferingThis is mentioned first as being the most general form of sacrifice. Its characteristic feature is the consumption of the entire animal by fire upon the altar, for which reason it is also described as the ’whole burnt offering’ (1 Samuel 7:9, cp. Psalms 51:19). The victims are oxen, sheep, or goats, for which, in the case of poor persons, turtle doves or young pigeons may be substituted (Leviticus 1:14). The animal must be a male, i.e. of the superior sex, and without blemish... read more

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

The Law Of SacrificeWhat is recorded here is not the institution of the rite of sacrifice, which is assumed to be already in existence (see Leviticus 1:2), but its regulation in matters of detail. It did not originate among the Israelites; it is a primitive and universal custom, based apparently upon a natural instinct, and found in one form or other in all parts of the world. Sacrifice is an act of worship, whereby the offerer either expresses his sense of the harmony and communion existing... read more
