L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:1-38

THE LAW OF THE TRESPASS OFFERING (vv. 1-10) In common with all the other offerings, the trespass offering was “most holy.” It was to be killed in the same place as the burnt offering. Its blood was to be sprinkled all around on the altar. The fat tail, the fat that covered the entrails, the two kidneys and the fat that was on them, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver were to be removed and burnt on the altar by the priest. These all speak of characteristics of Christ that are entirely... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38

THE SIN AND TRESPASS OFFERINGS THE SIN OFFERING The data for the sin offering is found in Leviticus 4:1-35 ; Leviticus 5:1-13 and Leviticus 6:24-30 . As to the name of this offering, it will be seen that “sin” is mentioned here for the first time in connection with the law of the offerings. The idea of sin is included in the others, but it was not the predominating idea as it is here. There was atonement for sin in the other offerings, but rather for sin in man’s nature than the actual... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 7:1

"Handfuls of Purpose" For All Gleaners "... this is the law." Lev 7:1 We are thankful for definiteness. Again and again this word occurs in the directions given to Moses. Men are not called upon to make any vital laws for themselves. They are called upon to a kind of legislation which is either limited by momentary convenience or is expressive of an eternal law underlying the very constitution of life and society. It would be impossible, for example, to make a. law to steal. Even if the law... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-2

The sprinkling the blood of the sacrifice upon the altar, is still carried on through every service. I hope the Reader will therefore keep the same in view also, and see the whole in reference to him, who is our New-Testament Altar, Priest, and Sacrifice. 1 Corinthians 5:7 . read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1

Trespass. Trespasses, for which these offerings were to be made, were less offences, than those for which the sin-offerings were appointed. (Challoner) See chap. iv. 2. --- Delictum, trespass, answers to the Hebrew asham, and the Greek plemmeleia; (Haydock) being of a more extensive signification that the Hebrew chete, sin, as it comprises even sins against knowledge. (Parkhurst) See chap. iv. 2. --- No particular ceremonies are enjoined, (ver. 7,) only a he-goat or a ram was to be offered;... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:1-10

1-10 In the sin-offering and the trespass-offering, the sacrifice was divided between the altar and the priest; the offerer had no share, as he had in the peace-offerings. The former expressed repentance and sorrow for sin, therefore it was more proper to fast than feast; the peace-offerings denoted communion with a reconciled God in Christ, the joy and gratitude of a pardoned sinner, and the privileges of a true believer. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 7:1-10

Of Trespass-offerings. v. 1. Likewise this is the law of the trespass-offering: It is most holy. The difference between the sin-offering and the trespass-offering may in general be said to consist in this, that the latter was required in the case of more serious offenses, v. 2. In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass-offering, that is, north of the altar in the court; and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar, upon its four... read more
