Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 7:8

Leviticus 7:8. The priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt-offering— I subjoin here the learned note of Bishop Patrick: "All the flesh of the burnt-offerings being wholly consumed, as well as the fat, upon the altar, (ch. Leviticus 1:8-9.) there was nothing that could fall to the share of the priest, but the skin; which is here given him for his pains. I observed upon Gen 3:21 that it is probable Adam himself offered the first sacrifice, and had the skin given him by GOD, to make the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 7:9

Leviticus 7:9. And all the meat-offering, &c.— See ch. Leviticus 2:6. The author of the Observations remarks, from some customs now prevailing among the Arabs, that the pouring oil on a meat-offering baken in a pan, and broken to pieces, was, according to the way of those times, when they would regale their friends in a more elegant manner; and, consequently, was to be done out of respect to the priests of the LORD, to whom they were appropriated. We refer the reader, curious on this topic,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:8

8. the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered—All the flesh and the fat of the burnt offerings being consumed, nothing remained to the priest but the skin. It has been thought that this was a patriarchal usage, incorporated with the Mosaic law, and that the right of the sacrificer to the skin of the victim was transmitted from the example of Adam (see on :-). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 7:1-10

The law of the trespass (reparation) offering for the priests 7:1-10Here we have more detail concerning the ritual involved in this offering than we read formerly (ch. 5). The procedures for slaughtering the trespass offering and sprinkling its blood were the same as for the burnt offering (Leviticus 1:5). The priests burned only the fatty parts on the altar (cf. Leviticus 3:9; Leviticus 4:8). They were to eat the flesh of this offering (cf. Leviticus 6:22)."Ministers must assure repentant... 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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:1-38

Directions to the Priests (continued)1-10. The Guilt Offering. Leviticus 7:8-10 refer to private offerings and the priest’s share in them.11-21. The Peace Offering. Three kinds of peace offerings are distinguished here, viz. the thank offering (Leviticus 7:12), and the votive and free will offerings (Leviticus 7:16). The former, as its name implies, would be presented after a benefit had been received; the latter, while the benefit was still expected, as an accompaniment of supplication.12. The... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 7:7

(7) There is one law for them.—That is, the same rule, as stated in Leviticus 6:27-28, applies to both the sin offering and the trespass offering; hence what is omitted in the regulation of the one must be supplied from the directions given in the other. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 7:8

(8) The priest shall have to himself the skin.—As the skin was the only part not consumed by the fire, in the case of the burnt offering, it fell to the share of the officiating priest. According to the rule which obtained during the second Temple, all the skins of the most holy things belonged to the officiating priests—i.e., those of the trespass offering, the sin offerings of the laity, &c.—whereas those of the holy things—i.e., those of the peace offerings—belonged to the owners of the... read more
