Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:1-37

THE LAW OF HOLINESS (CONCLUDED)Leviticus 19:1-37WE have in this chapter a series of precepts and prohibitions which from internal evidence appear to have been selected by an inspired redactor of the canon from various original documents, with the purpose, not of presenting a complete enumeration of all moral and ceremonial duties, but of illustrating the application in the everyday life of the Israelite of the injunction which stands at the beginning of the chapter (Leviticus 19:2): "Ye shall... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:1-37

MANY LAWS GROUPED TOGETHER (vv. 1-37) We have seen at the beginning and end of chapter 18 God's announcement, “I am the Lord your God.” In chapter 19 the expression “I am the Lord” occurs 15 times. But here it is difficult to find any division of topics, for laws of every kind are found following one another. It has been suggested that in this case the reason is to stress that the law is one: there is a unity about it that is not to be ignored by those under law. James 2:10 strongly enforces... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:1-37

ABOMINATIONS UNTO THE LORD The underlying thought of this section is in the words of Leviticus 18:1-5 . Israel is redeemed and separated unto God, therefore, she is to live consistently with that fact in all her ways. She is not to do after the heathen peoples round about her. THE QUESTION OF EATING (Leviticus 17:0 ) It looks as though the opening injunction of this chapter touched once more upon the ceremonial and recurred to a matter considered under the offerings. But in that case the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 19:20-22

The apostle to the Galatians, hath given us so much authority to consider the law and the gospel as shadowed out in the Old Testament, that I venture to think we are, in many cases like the present, allowed to interpret it spiritually. See Galatians 4:23-24 . read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 19:1-37

The more positive habits of separation are insisted on by the repetition of laws already given, with one reiterated emphasis, namely, the fact that the God of this people is Jehovah. There was, first, a general call to holiness based upon the essential reason, 'Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy." This is the profoundest reason that can possibly be assigned. The holiness of Jehovah must be exemplified in His people. Every departure from the pathway of holiness is a profaning of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:19-25

Leviticus 19:19-Lamentations : . Holiness in Farm Life and between the Sexes.— Hybrids are forbidden; a rule which, with its curious extensions, is found in Deuteronomy 22:9 f.; but contrast 2 Samuel 13:29, 1 Kings 10:25, Ezekiel 27:14; mules were highly valued in Palestine. Perhaps some magical heathen practice is the real object of the prohibition. [Mixtures of wool and cotton played a part in magic, and that probably accounts for the prohibition of “ two kinds of stuff,” which is explained... read more

And in the precepts of this chapter, traversing the entire range of personal, social, and religious life, we have the law summarized—“the whole duty of man” in epitome.Reverence... read more
