Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 5:7

"And if his means suffice not for a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass-offering (margin: for his guilt) for that wherein he hath sinned, two turtle doves, or two young pigeons, unto Jehovah; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering. And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it asunder: and he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering upon the side of... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 5:6

Leviticus 5:6. His trespass-offering— The original word אשׁם asham, trespass, extends further than חטא cheit, sin, even to sins against knowledge: but the precise difference between them it is not easy to settle: we refer to Outram de Sacrificiis, as before. Dr. Beaumont observes, that "these trespass-offerings were for sins of less importance, as omission of some duties, and not observing the legal washings and purifications, &c. whereas the sin-offerings in ch. 4 were for greater... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 5:7

Leviticus 5:7. One for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering— It appears from the following verses, that the sin-offering was first to be offered, in order to reconcile the sinner with God: and then the burnt-offering or gift might be accepted. In Mat 5:23-24 our Saviour refers to this custom. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 5:6

6-14. he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord for his sins which he hath sinned—A trespass offering differed from a sin offering in the following respects: that it was appointed for persons who had either done evil unwittingly, or were in doubt as to their own criminality; or felt themselves in such a special situation as required sacrifices of that kind [BROWN]. The trespass offering appointed in such cases was a female lamb or kid; if unable to make such an offering, he might bring... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 5:1-13

4. The sin offering 4:1-5:13The sin offering was a very important offering since it was to be offered before any of the others. It also played a key role on the Day of Atonement. Ancient Near Easterners offered certain offerings before God incorporated these into the Mosaic Law. Moses previously mentioned burnt offerings in Genesis 12:7; Genesis 13:4; Genesis 13:18; Genesis 22; Genesis 26:25; Genesis 33:20; and Genesis 35:1-7, and peace offerings in Genesis 31:54; Genesis 46:1. However the sin... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:1-19

The Sin Offering and the Guilt Ofeering (continued)1-6. Special cases in which it is proper to offer a Sin Offering. Such are the withholding of testimony (Leviticus 5:1), touching a carcase or unclean person or thing (Leviticus 5:2-3), making rash oaths (Leviticus 5:4).1. Sin, and hear] RV ’sin, in that he heareth’: cp. Proverbs 29:24; Judges 17:2. 2. See Leviticus 11:27-28, Leviticus 11:31-40; Leviticus 15:7.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 5:6

(6) And he shall bring his trespass offering . . . a lamb or a kid of the goats.—Better, a sheep, or a shaggy she-goat (see Leviticus 4:23; Leviticus 4:32). The first thing to be noticed is that the sacrifice is here called (âshâm) “trespass offering,” which is the right rendering of the word, and is so translated in thirty-five out of the thirty-six passages in which it is used for a sacrifice. In the verse before us, and in the rest of this section, viz., Leviticus 5:7-13, which treat of this... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 5:7

(7) And if he be not able to bring.—The only exception to this general rule was poverty. The poor man who was unable to bring a sheep or she-goat, might bring two turtle-doves, as these were plentiful and cheap in Palestine. (See Leviticus 1:14.) We have seen in the preceding verse that in the case of the trespass offering, as in that of the sin offering, the fat parts, or the choicest portion, had to be consumed on the altar, being “the bread of Jehovah,” and that the residue was the... read more
