Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 6:2

Leviticus 6:2. If a soul sin This sin, though directly committed against man, is emphatically said to be done against the Lord, not only in general, for so every sin against man is also against the Lord, but in a special sense, because this was a violation of human society, whereof God is the author, and president, and defender; and because it was a secret sin, of which God alone was the witness and judge; and because God’s name was abused in it by perjury. In that which was delivered to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 6:3

Leviticus 6:3. Sweareth falsely His oath being required, seeing there was no other way of discovery left. And is guilty Makes his guilt manifest by his voluntary confession upon remorse; whereby he reapeth this benefit, that he only restores the principal with the addition of a fifth part; whereas, if he were convicted of his fault, he was to pay in some cases five-fold, in some four-fold, in others double. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 6:5

Leviticus 6:5. In the day of his trespass-offering It must not be delayed, but restitution to man must accompany repentance toward God. Wherever wrong has been done, restitution must be made, and till it is made, to the utmost of our power, we cannot look for forgiveness; for the keeping of what is unjustly gotten, avows the taking: and both together make but one continued act of unrighteousness. read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

The guilt offering (5:14-6:7)Regulations concerning the guilt offering (GNB: repayment offering) were similar to those for the sin offering made by non-priestly individuals, except that no gradations were allowed (7:1-10; see notes on 4:22-35).Like the sin offering, the guilt offering was offered when people realized they had committed sin unknowingly. But the guilt offering differed from the sin offering in that it was offered in cases where the wrongdoing involved money or things of monetary... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 6:2

Leviticus 6:2. Commit a trespass against the Lord— Known and voluntary sins are considered in this chapter. Every sin which men commit, says Jameson from Calmet, is against God, the supreme Lawgiver and Judge; but especially such sins, as, being committed in secresy, or lying out of the reach of human jurisdiction, cannot be punished by men; or which are not very liable to be detected, unless by the conviction of men's consciences, and an awful regard to the majesty of God, who knows the secret... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 6:3

Leviticus 6:3. In any of all these that a man doeth— Houbigant renders this, in any one of these things wherein men are used to offend: in which he follows the Vulgate, and other versions, as well as the interpretation of Grotius. It was not peculiar to the Hebrew law, to account that man a thief, who detained any thing from the true owner that he had found. We are told of the Dyrbaans, who inhabited that tract which extends from Bactria to India, and were celebrated for justice among their... read more
