Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 19:30-37

These precepts are to the same effect as the former, in point of plainness and tendency. And they are enforced by the same authority. It is very interesting to the true believer in CHRIST, while reading the extensiveness of the divine laws, to call to mind how faithfully they are fulfilled in JESUS. He hath indeed magnified the law, and made it honourable. He hath proved himself to be our great Law Fulfiller. In his life he answered all its righteous demands. By his death he hath confirmed it;... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 19:1-37

The more positive habits of separation are insisted on by the repetition of laws already given, with one reiterated emphasis, namely, the fact that the God of this people is Jehovah. There was, first, a general call to holiness based upon the essential reason, 'Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy." This is the profoundest reason that can possibly be assigned. The holiness of Jehovah must be exemplified in His people. Every departure from the pathway of holiness is a profaning of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:33-34

The Right Attitude Towards the Resident Alien (Leviticus 19:33-34 ). Leviticus 19:33-34 “And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the home-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.” The resident alien who lives among them is not to be wronged. Rather he is to be treated as though he were a native of the land, and is to be loved... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 19:33-36

Leviticus 19:33-Zephaniah : . Final Rules of Humanity and Justice.— Resident aliens are to be respected; fraud is to be banished. For the “ stranger,” cf. Leviticus 17:8 f.*. Straightforward dealing is here placed in a position of special importance. It is uniformly emphasized by the prophets ( Amos 5:24, Micah 6:8, Ezekiel 45:9 ff.). In early stages of society, untested and unstandardised weights and measures make dishonesty easy. The weights unearthed in the soil of Palestine ( e.g. at... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 19:1-37

The leading precepts of the law are here repeated to give them new force, and with many additions and illustrations, that they might be better understood. Most of these having already been explained, the reader may refer to the places by the marginal references of the bible. Leviticus 19:9. Not wholly reap. No nation is well governed that is unmindful of the poor. Allowing them some indulgencies, and the means of providing a little store for winter is a great industry; and is at the same... read more

The fear was lest they should grow too inclusive and haughty, and begin to despise and oppress the individual foreigners that should remain in the land or might enter it for a settlement. The invitation to the stranger might be like that of the spider to the fly--a siren’s voice luring to destruction. This is the very fate that has befallen the Jews in mediaeval and modern... read more
