G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

In this final page of the Book of Leviticus we have something superadded to actual laws and yet of very vital importance. It is concerned with vows. A vow is a promise made to God voluntarily and not in obedience to any divine requirement. That is not to suggest that a vow is wrong. It expresses a devotion of the person or of property to the service of God beyond that which is demanded in the strict economy of relationship. It is not necessary therefore that any such vows should be made, but... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:9-13

The Price For Redemption of a Beast (Leviticus 27:9-13 ). Leviticus 27:9-10 “And if it be a beast, of which men offer an oblation to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh shall be holy. He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.” Any clean and sacrificial beast vowed to Yahweh was holy. Once offered it could not be changed, whether for better... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:9-13

Leviticus 27:9-1 Chronicles : . Commutation for an Animal.— An animal once vowed is treated as holy; any attempt to substitute another less valuable renders the second holy (and forfeit) also. An “ unclean” animal cannot be directly offered for sacrifice; it must, therefore, be sold and the price paid to the Temple; if the owner wishes to have it back he must pay an extra 20 per cent. ( cf. Leviticus 27:15; Leviticus 6:5; Leviticus 22:14). read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

Dotibe Offerings of the LordSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 27:2.—Shall make a singular vow. The Rabbins interpreted the phrase as meaning to “pronounce a vow,” and the Chaldee version renders the words, “shall distinctly pronounce a vow.” From this followed the subtle and misleading theory that no vow, unless pronounced audibly, was binding: ignoring the solemn truth that “Our thoughts are heard in heaven”; that “there is not a word in our tongue but the Lord knoweth it altogether” (Psalms... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 27:1-34

Leviticus 27:2. A singular vow. When a man shall vow a vow; or as others contend, when a man shall vow to give the price of his life or labour to the Lord. The family of Aaron being appointed priests, and the whole tribe of Levi their assistants; persons desirous of aiding in the worship of the tabernacle, were but little encouraged. Some devoted persons were however accepted; and women were not exempt, for they could prepare the linen. But the levites were too numerous for the sacred... read more
