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

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

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 19:24

(24) But in the fourth year.—Like the second tithes the fruits of the fourth year were taken up to Jerusalem, and there eaten by the owner, in company with the poor and needy whom he invited to the repast. The owner, however, was also allowed to redeem them. In this case he had to add the fifth part of their value, take up the money to the holy city, and there spend it in a repast to which he invited the poor. The grapes of the vineyards within a distance of a day’s journey of Jerusalem had,... 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

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

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 19:23-25

Besides the evident intention of this precept, in testifying thereby, that we hold all we have, as tenants of will, under the LORD; and therefore it is but justice and equity that we should pay the rent with the first fruits: no doubt this precept reached further, and had respect to the offering of the body of JESUS, who in the prime of his days, was offered unto GOD for his people. It is said, that the Jews were so tender of this precept, that in order to prevent the violation of it, they... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 19:24

Lord. It was to be brought to the holy city, and offered with the other tithes, out of which a feast was made for the poor, &c. (Josephus, [Antiquities?] iv. 8.) Besides the first-fruits for the priests, and the tithes for the Levites, out of which they again paid tithes to the priests, there was an annual tithe prescribed, (Deuteronomy xii. 12,) to supply a feast for the indigent, &c., at Jerusalem, along with this fruit; and another, every third year, designed for the poor alone... read more
