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

1. the Lord . . . spake . . . out of the tabernacle—The laws that are contained in the previous record were delivered either to the people publicly from Sinai, or to Moses privately, on the summit of that mountain; but on the completion of the tabernacle, the remainder of the law was announced to the Hebrew leader by an audible voice from the divine glory, which surmounted the mercy seat. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 1:1-17

[See the Chapter Comments for Leviticus Chapter 1 for introductory information]1. The burnt offering ch. 1The burnt offering (in Greek, holokautoma, from which we get the English word "holocaust") expressed the offerer’s complete consecration to Yahweh (cf. Matthew 22:37; Romans 12:1-2) and God’s complete acceptance of the worshiper. However it also made atonement for the offerer. Some rabbis believed the burnt offering atoned for all sins not covered under the sin offering. [Note: Rooker, p.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:1-17

The Burnt OfferingThis is mentioned first as being the most general form of sacrifice. Its characteristic feature is the consumption of the entire animal by fire upon the altar, for which reason it is also described as the ’whole burnt offering’ (1 Samuel 7:9, cp. Psalms 51:19). The victims are oxen, sheep, or goats, for which, in the case of poor persons, turtle doves or young pigeons may be substituted (Leviticus 1:14). The animal must be a male, i.e. of the superior sex, and without blemish... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:1-38

The Law Of SacrificeWhat is recorded here is not the institution of the rite of sacrifice, which is assumed to be already in existence (see Leviticus 1:2), but its regulation in matters of detail. It did not originate among the Israelites; it is a primitive and universal custom, based apparently upon a natural instinct, and found in one form or other in all parts of the world. Sacrifice is an act of worship, whereby the offerer either expresses his sense of the harmony and communion existing... read more

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

(1) And the Lord called . . . and spake.—Rather, And he called unto Moses, and the Lord spake, &c. (See Leviticus 8:15.) At the end of the previous book we are told that when the tent of meeting was completed, the Lord showed His approbation of it by covering the outside of the edifice with a heaven-sent cloud, and by filling the inside with His glory (Exodus 40:34-38). He therefore, who had filled the sanctuary with his glory now “called unto Moses,” thus indicating by “And he called,”... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Leviticus 1:1-17

Analysis and Annotations I. THE OFFERINGS THE FOUNDATION OF HOLINESS 1. The Burnt Offering CHAPTER 1 1. The bullock (Leviticus 1:1-9 ) 2. The sheep or the goat (Leviticus 1:10-13 ) 3. The doves or pigeons (Leviticus 1:14-17 ) Jehovah spoke out of the tabernacle which had been set up and upon which the cloud descended, filling the Holy of Holies with the glory of the Lord. Thus Leviticus is closely linked with the ending of the book of Exodus. Out of that glory, from between the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:1-17

THE BURNT OFFERING (A) A BULL (vv. 1-9) The first verse is significant of the character of the whole book of Leviticus. The Lord speaks to Moses from the tabernacle, His place of dwelling among the people. If we are to approach Him, it must be where He is, and on His terms. When we have been redeemed by Him and to Him, it is surely our desire to be near to Him, enjoying the light of His face. But this must be in His own way . Therefore the burnt offering comes first, for this gives the most... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

THE BURNT OFFERING There are five offerings in chapters 1-7, and these five include all the offerings and sacrifices referred to in the history of Israel. It will simplify matters if we remember this. Sometimes offerings are presented for the priest himself, sometimes for the nation, a ruler of the nation, or a common individual; sometimes the offering is a bullock, sometimes a sheep, a goat, a turtle dove, or a pigeon; but in any case, it is always one of these five offerings. Chapter 7,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 1:1

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "And the Lord called unto Moses." Lev 1:1 The calls of Providence. Their number and variety. Every man is conscious of a call to higher life and duty. Account for it as we may, there is an inward voice alluring us in one of two directions. The voice of the Lord is not the only voice that addresses human attention. The devil speaks as well as God. The two voices can be easily distinguished by any earnest hearer who is determined upon doing the right... read more
