Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 6:28

Leviticus 6:28. The earthen vessel shall be broken This relates, not to the consecrated vessels of the tabernacle, for none of these were of earth, Exodus 27:19; but to such vessels as were sometimes employed by private persons in dressing the meat of their sacrifices, whereof we have an example, 1 Samuel 2:13-14. These, after the flesh of the sacrifice had been boiled in them, were to be broken, in order that what retained the smallest tincture of the holy things might not be profaned by... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:8-30

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

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 6:27

Leviticus 6:27. And when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof, &c.— The moral and typical reasons of all these ablutions and purifications are obvious. Bishop Patrick observes, that, after the temple was built, there was an apartment called the chamber of the spring; out of which water was drawn for the use of the sanctuary; and here, it is probable, these garments, &c. were washed. read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 6:28

Leviticus 6:28. Earthen vessel—brasen pot— These were such vessels as were employed by private persons in dressing their sacrifices; but which did not belong to the tabernacle; see 1 Samuel 2:13-14. These injunctions, respecting them, were designed to keep up a due veneration of the sacred offices, and a careful separation of all things used in religious services, from those employed in ordinary offices. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 6:8-38

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

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 6:24-30

The law of the sin (purification) offering for the priests 6:24-30The priests slew the burnt, sin, and trespass offerings in the same place, before the altar of burnt offerings. Again the emphasis is on what the priests could and could not eat. They were not to confuse the holy and the common (profane; cf. Leviticus 6:18)."People need to know that they have been forgiven and that they can enter God’s presence with confidence; they need the reality of forgiveness, not simply the hope of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 6:26

(26) The priest that offereth it for sin.—Rather, the priest that offereth it for expiation, or, the priest that expiateth sin by it. That is, who makes atonement by the blood thereof. (See Leviticus 9:15.)Shall eat it.—God gave the sin offering as food for the priests to bear the iniquity of the congregation, and to make atonement for them (Leviticus 10:17). It constituted a part of their livelihood (Ezekiel 44:28-29). The officiating priest to whom fell this perquisite could invite not only... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 6:27

(27) Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof.—Better, every one that toucheth the flesh thereof, as the Authorised Version rightly renders this phrase in Leviticus 6:18 of this very chapter, where it is explained.And when there is sprinkled . . . . —So peculiarly sacred was the sin offering, that when any of its blood chanced to spurt upon the garment of the officiating priest, or the one who brought the sacrifice, the spot which received the stain had to be washed in the room of the court... read more
