Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

CONCERNING VOWSLeviticus 27:1-34As already remarked, the book of Leviticus certainly seems, at first sight, to be properly completed with the previous chapter; and hence it has been not unnaturally suggested that this chapter has by some editor been transferred, either of intention or accident, from an earlier part of the book - as, e.g., after chapter 25. The question is one of no importance; but it is not hard to perceive a good reason for the position of this chapter after not only the rest... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

THE PERSONAL VOW (vv. 1-8) This was not a matter of a law requiring anything, but of a voluntary vow made to God. Though it was not required, yet when the vow was made, then it was absolutely required to be kept. If one were to consecrate to the Lord one of his family, the value of this was estimated in currency. A male from 20 to 60 years of age was estimated at 50 shekels of silver (v. 3). A female of the same age was valued at 30 shekels; a boy between 5 and 20 years was 20 shekels, and a... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

VOWS AND TITHES We have in this closing chapter a supplement to the whole book. Hitherto we dealt with obligations and duties resting on all Israelites alike, but now we come to vows of an additional and voluntary character (Deuteronomy 23:22 ). PERSONS MIGHT BE VOWED (Leviticus 27:1-8 ) The thought is, that persons might be vowed for service in the sanctuary; but since service could not be found for so large a number, and especially for young children, who might be vowed, there might be a... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 27:34

With this verse the book of Leviticus concludes, which briefly expresses, by way of sanction to the whole, that these are the commandments of the LORD. Happy our privilege, that we are not under the yoke of carnal ordinances, but are called to the knowledge of a gracious dispensation, which is after the power of an endless life. Hebrews 7:16 . REFLECTIONS READER! how delightful in lesser things, as well as in greater, is it to see the law still pointing to the gospel; and every sacrifice, even... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:34

34 The last verse seems to have reference to this whole book. Many of the precepts in it are moral, and always binding; others are ceremonial, and peculiar to the Jewish nation; yet they have a spiritual meaning, and so teach us; for unto us, by these institutions, is the gospel preached, as well as unto them, Hebrews 4:2. The doctrine of reconciliation to God by a Mediator, is not clouded with the smoke of burning sacrifice, but cleared by the knowledge of Christ and him crucified. We are... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 27:14-34

Of Houses, Fields, and Firstlings v. 14. And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the Lord, in a vow devoting its value to the service of Jehovah, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand, his medium valuation should be final. v. 15. And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, desiring to have it back for his own use, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

In this final page of the Book of Leviticus we have something superadded to actual laws and yet of very vital importance. It is concerned with vows. A vow is a promise made to God voluntarily and not in obedience to any divine requirement. That is not to suggest that a vow is wrong. It expresses a devotion of the person or of property to the service of God beyond that which is demanded in the strict economy of relationship. It is not necessary therefore that any such vows should be made, but... read more
