Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 19:33

33, 34. if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him—The Israelites were to hold out encouragement to strangers to settle among them, that they might be brought to the knowledge and worship of the true God; and with this in view, they were enjoined to treat them not as aliens, but as friends, on the ground that they themselves, who were strangers in Egypt, were at first kindly and hospitably received in that country. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 19:1-37

3. Holiness of behavior toward God and man ch. 19Moses grouped the commandments in this section together by a loose association of ideas rather than by a strictly logical arrangement. They all spring from the central thought in Leviticus 19:2: "You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy." This sentence is the motto of Leviticus (cf. Leviticus 11:44-45; Leviticus 20:26; Matthew 5:48; 1 Peter 1:16)."Every biblical statement about God carries with it an implied demand upon men to imitate... read more

Statutes and judgments 19:19-37"This section is introduced with the admonition ’You shall keep my statutes’ (Leviticus 19:19 a) and concludes with a similar admonition, ’You shall keep all my statutes and all my judgments’ (Leviticus 19:37 a), and the statement ’I am the LORD’ (Leviticus 19:37 b). Like the preceding section of laws, it consists of a list of twenty-one (3x7) laws. These laws also are broken up into smaller units by a sevenfold repetition of the phrase ’I am the LORD (your God)’... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 19:33-37

This list concludes with commands to practice honesty in judicial matters. Leviticus 19:37 is a summary exhortation.Since the church contains people of every nation it is no longer necessary for Christians to observe the laws that typified Israel’s uniqueness among the other nations. Nevertheless God still calls Christians to imitate Himself (cf. Matthew 5:48; 1 Corinthians 11:1), to "be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16). Application of the imperatives in this chapter is different for... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:1-37

Various Laws, mainly of a Moral and Humane CharacterThis chapter was very naturally regarded by Jewish authorities as an embodiment of the Decalogue. It will be observed that in general the precepts in Leviticus 19:3-8 correspond to those of the first table of the Decalogue (’Thou shalt love the Lord thy God’), and those in Leviticus 19:9-18 to the second table (’Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself’). In this chapter alone the characteristic phrase ’I am the Lord’ (i.e. Jehovah) occurs no... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 19:33

(33) And if a stranger sojourn with thee.—The stranger, for whose benefit the legislators enacted so many humane and benign laws, and with regard to whom the book of Leviticus has laid down so many precepts, is one of non-Jewish origin, but who had joined the Jewish faith. He had, therefore, to undergo the rite of circumcision; he had to fast on the great Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:29); he had to submit to the regulations about sacrifices (Leviticus 17:8-9; Leviticus 22:18); he had to... read more

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

2. Different Duties CHAPTER 19 1. Honoring parents and fearing God (Leviticus 19:1-8 ) 2. The care of the poor (Leviticus 19:9-10 ) 3. Against stealing and lying (Leviticus 19:11-12 ) 4. Against oppression (Leviticus 19:13-14 ) 5. Against unrighteousness in judgment (Leviticus 19:15-16 ) 6. Thou shalt love thy neighbor (Leviticus 19:17-18 ) 7. Different commands and prohibitions (Leviticus 19:19-37 ) Many of these duties enjoined upon a people called to holiness, the different... 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
