Geneva Study Bible - Leviticus 20:25

20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls {k} abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.(k) By eating them contrary to my commandment. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 20:1-27

PENALTIES FOR SIN GODWARD (vv. 1-8) Chapter 19 has given many laws forbidding sin; now chapter 20 shows that law, when it is broken, demands certain penalties. These penalties were to be executed as soon as the offender's guilt was established. There were no long drawn out court cases and no appeals after one was proven guilty. Even in the days of Solomon Israel had failed to carry out these penalties promptly, so that Ecclesiastes 8:11 tells us, “Because the sentence against an evil work is... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 20:1-27

PENALTIES FOR PEOPLE AND PRIESTS The twentieth chapter is of deep interest as showing what infinite wisdom and love has considered a just punishment for certain crimes. These crimes are still committed in civilized communities but a different view of their treatment seems to exist. Are human governments in modern times wiser and better than this theocracy where Jehovah ruled? Why does not this code obtain in Christian nations, since God has revealed it and such nations are supposed to... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 20:21-27

Let the Reader remark with me, in the perusal of these verses, the grounds on which the LORD enjoins sanctity of life and manners, and the very strong motives in which it is founded, namely, that the LORD is the GOD of his people in a covenant way, and that they are his people. So that being thus distinguished as the peculiar objects of his love, reason as well as revelation seems to demand that they should be the peculiar followers of his holy law. See what Moses elsewhere saith of this,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 20:10-27

10-27 These verses repeat what had been said before, but it was needful there should be line upon line. What praises we owe to God that he has taught the evil of sin, and the sure way of deliverance from it! May we have grace to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things; may we have no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness, but reprove them. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 20:22-27

Admonition to Holiness v. 22. Ye shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, both general and special, and do them, that the land whither I bring you to dwell therein spue you not out, Leviticus 18:25-Hosea :. v. 23. And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation which I cast out before you, the nation of the Canaanites with all its branches; for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. This implies that the sins enumerated in the list above were... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 20:1-27

Once more we have a repetition of laws already enunciated with the same persistent thought of responsibility. In this section we find the death sentence associated with certain forms of disobedience, and thus the fact of responsibility is lifted into a yet more clearly defined importance and lays a new and startling emphasis on the absolute authority of God. All the words which had thus been uttered for conditioning life were definite and positive laws. They were infinitely more than general... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 20:22-27

Israel Are Inheriting A Land Flowing With Milk And Honey And Must Not Defile It But Must Be Holy To Yahweh (Leviticus 20:22-27 ). Leviticus 20:22 “You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, to which I bring you for you to dwell in it, does not vomit you out.” So they must be careful to keep all God’s statutes and all His ordinances, and do them, obeying all regulations and all commands. Then once they have arrived in the land they will not be... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 20:22-26

Leviticus 20:22-Ezekiel : . The Final Appeal, emphasizing the motive of separation from the customs of the original inhabitants, complementary to that of fear of defilement ( Leviticus 18:30). Refusal to make the due distinction between clean and unclean— here singled out as typical of full observance— entails expulsion by, as well as from, the land and rouses abhorrence (a strong and semi-physical loathing) in Yahweh Himself. Holiness in Israel’ s conduct is necessary as corresponding to... read more
