Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 6:17

(17) I have given it unto them for their portion.—It was ordained that those who ministered at the altar should live of the altar; hence the priests had no portion or inheritance in the land. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 6:18

(18) All the males among the children of Aaron.—The sin offerings, the trespass offerings, and the remainder of the peace offerings being most holy, could only be eaten by the male members of the families of the priests within the court of the sanctuary; whilst the offerings of tithes, fruit, the shoulder and breast of the people’s peace offerings, &c, being less holy, were not only eaten by the officiating priests in Jerusalem, but by their incapacitated sons, their daughters, &c,... read more

THE DAILY MEAL OFFERINGLeviticus 6:14-23"And this is the law of the meal offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the Lord, before the altar. And he shall take up therefrom his handful, of the fine flour of the meal offering and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, as the memorial thereof, unto the Lord. And that which is left thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: it shall be eaten without... read more

THE PRIESTS’ PORTIONSLeviticus 6:16-18; Leviticus 7:6-10; Leviticus 7:14; Leviticus 7:31-36AFTER the law of the guilt offering follows a section {; Leviticus 6:8-30; Leviticus 7:1-38} with regard to the offerings previously treated, but addressed especially to the priests, as the foregoing were specially directed to the people.

L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:1-30

TRESPASS MANWARD (vv. 1-7). Though this trespass is directly involved with another person, yet it is “against the Lord,” for He is Creator and concerned about how His creatures are treated. One may have lied to his neighbor in reference to something that had been entrusted to him to keep or as to a pledge he had made, or he may have actually cheated his neighbor in some way. Or he may have found what was lost and instead of restoring it to its owner, he had sworn falsely about it. This could... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-30

THE SIN AND TRESPASS OFFERINGS THE SIN OFFERING The data for the sin offering is found in Leviticus 4:1-35 ; Leviticus 5:1-13 and Leviticus 6:24-30 . As to the name of this offering, it will be seen that “sin” is mentioned here for the first time in connection with the law of the offerings. The idea of sin is included in the others, but it was not the predominating idea as it is here. There was atonement for sin in the other offerings, but rather for sin in man’s nature than the actual... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 6:13-30

The Continual Burning Lev 6:13 But may not the people cease to sin before morning, and the fire be put out in the night-time? Does it not assume too much about the frailty and sinfulness of man to keep a fire up always? Would it not be better to extinguish it sometimes, just to suggest to the observers that a great hope has sprung up in the divine heart that perhaps this day there will be no more need for sacrifice? If the fire were put out, would not that itself be a gospel? Such are the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 6:14-18

Concerning the meat-offering, the first part was to be the LORD'S, the remainder the priest's. Did not this offering allude to the person of JESUS? See John 6:35 . And were not the priests, in partaking of this, types of the whole body of CHRIST, who are said to be made kings and priests to GOD and the FATHER? Revelation 1:6 . read more
