Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38

The law of the offerings (6:8-7:38)In the section known as ‘the law of the offerings’, the additional regulations were mainly for the benefit of the officiating priests. These regulations have already been dealt with in the discussion on the preceding chapters. Although the present chapters list the offerings in a slightly different order from the earlier chapters, the same five categories are dealt with: the burnt offering (6:8-13; see notes on 1:1-17), the cereal offering (6:14-23; see notes... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 7:35

"This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offering of Jehovah made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto Jehovah in the priest's office; which Jehovah commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 7:34

Leviticus 7:34. For the wave-breast, &c.— See 1 Corinthians 9:13-14. The equity of this law remains for ever: they who minister at the altar certainly ought to live by the altar. And they who honour God will have a regard about the becoming maintenance of his ministers, and share their morsel with them. We may also observe here, that the Lord's supper is a feast upon a sacrifice, or rather in commemoration of a sacrifice where blood has been shed; and a feast of mercies provided for... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 7:35

Leviticus 7:35. This is the portion of the anointing— There is nothing for portion in the original: the Hebrew is, this is the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons; by which is meant, "this is the privilege or portion of their unction or appointment to the priest's office." Ainsworth has given us many examples of similar metonymies in the Hebrew. Thus divination is used for the rewards of divination, Numbers 22:7. Iniquity is often put for the punishment or desert of iniquity, Lev... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:35

35-38. This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron—These verses contain a general summing up of the laws which regulate the privileges and duties of the priests. The word "anointing" is often used as synonymous with "office" or "dignity." So that the "portion of the anointing of Aaron" probably means the provision made for the maintenance of the high priest and the numerous body of functionaries which composed the sacerdotal order. in the day when he presented them to minister unto the Lord,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 7:8-38

6. Instructions for the priests concerning the offerings 6:8-7:38"The five basic sacrifices are . . . introduced twice, each sacrifice being treated both in the main section addressed to the people [Leviticus 1:1 to Leviticus 6:7] and in the supplementary section addressed to the priests [Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 7:38]." [Note: Lindsey, p. 172.] The main theme of this section is who may eat what parts of the offerings and where. Generally only the priests could eat the sacrifices, but the... read more
