Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 1:5

Leviticus 1:5. And the priests—shall bring the blood— This blood, as Le Clerc observes, was to be offered by the priest alone, and served to remind the person who brought the victim, that he was in a sinful state, and so not worthy to have access to God, but through a mediator; and a mediator, be it noted, offering the blood of the sacrifice. The heathens had the same custom: they received the blood of the sacrifices in vessels prepared for that purpose, and then offered it to their deities by... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 1:5

5. he shall kill the bullock—The animal should be killed by the offerer, not by the priest, for it was not his duty in case of voluntary sacrifices; in later times, however, the office was generally performed by Levites. before the Lord—on the spot where the hands had been laid upon the animal's head, on the north side of the altar. sprinkle the blood—This was to be done by the priests. The blood being considered the life, the effusion of it was the essential part of the sacrifice; and the... 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 1:5

(5) And he shall kill the bullock.—The sacrificer himself slaughtered the victim on the north side of the altar, by cutting its throat, while a priest or an assistant held a bowl under the neck to receive the blood.Before the Lord.—That is, before the door of the tent of meeting (comp. Leviticus 1:11). The two phrases constantly interchange in the directions about the sacrifices. (Comp. Leviticus 3:2; Leviticus 3:8; Leviticus 3:12; Leviticus 4:4; Leviticus 4:15; Leviticus 4:24; Leviticus 6:18,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:5-17

THE BURNT OFFERING (CONCLUDED)Leviticus 1:5-17; Leviticus 6:8-13AFTER the laying on of the hand, the next sacrificial act was-THE KILLING OF THE VICTIM"And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord." (Leviticus 1:5)In the light of what has been already said, the significance of this killing, in a typical way, will be quite clear. For with the first sin, and again and again thereafter, God had denounced death as the penalty of sin. But here is a sinner who, in accord with a Divine command,... 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
