Leviticus 7:1 NIV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 7:1-2

Leviticus 7:1-2. Here the priests are directed in their office about the trespass- offerings, as the people had been before. The blood shall he sprinkle round about This is a different rule from that observed in the sin-offering, the blood of which was to be put upon the horns of the altar, Leviticus 4:25; but this was to be sprinkled round about it, as was ordered respecting the whole burnt-offerings. 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

"And this is the law of the trespass-offering: it is most holy. In the place where they kill the burnt-offering shall they kill the trespass-offering; and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle upon the altar round about. And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof: the fat tail, the fat that covereth the inwards, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:1

1. Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering—This chapter is a continuation of the laws that were to regulate the duty of the priests respecting the trespass offerings. The same regulations obtained in this case as in the burnt offerings—part was to be consumed on the altar, while the other part was a perquisite of the priests—some fell exclusively to the officiating minister, and was the fee for his services; others were the common share of all the priestly order, who lived upon them... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 7:1-10

The law of the trespass (reparation) offering for the priests 7:1-10Here we have more detail concerning the ritual involved in this offering than we read formerly (ch. 5). The procedures for slaughtering the trespass offering and sprinkling its blood were the same as for the burnt offering (Leviticus 1:5). The priests burned only the fatty parts on the altar (cf. Leviticus 3:9; Leviticus 4:8). They were to eat the flesh of this offering (cf. Leviticus 6:22)."Ministers must assure repentant... read more

Directions to the Priests (continued)1-10. The Guilt Offering. Leviticus 7:8-10 refer to private offerings and the priest’s share in them.11-21. The Peace Offering. Three kinds of peace offerings are distinguished here, viz. the thank offering (Leviticus 7:12), and the votive and free will offerings (Leviticus 7:16). The former, as its name implies, would be presented after a benefit had been received; the latter, while the benefit was still expected, as an accompaniment of supplication.12. The... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 7:1

VII.(1) Likewise this is the law . . . . —Better, and this is the law:, &c. Just as Leviticus 6:24-30 contains additional regulations addressed to the priest about the rites of the sin offering, so Leviticus 7:1-10 gives more precise instructions about the trespass offering, supplementing Leviticus 5:1-13, also designed for the guidance of the priest. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-7

THE GUILT OFFERINGLeviticus 5:14; Leviticus 6:7; Leviticus 7:1-7As in the English version, so also in the Hebrew, the special class of sins for which the guilt offering is prescribed, is denoted by a distinct and specific word. That word, like the English "trespass," its equivalent, always has reference to an invasion of the rights of others, especially in respect of property or service. It is used, for instance, of the sin of Achan (Joshua 7:1), who had appropriated spoil from Jericho, which... read more
