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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:28-29

Devoted Things (Leviticus 27:28-29 ). Up to this point if something was not redeemed it could be either used by or sold by the priests. But ‘devoted’ things would seem to indicate things irrevocably devoted to Yahweh. This was seemingly the most serious of vows and the devoted thing became most holy to Yahweh and could neither be sold nor redeemed. Either it was kept permanently within the tabernacle or it was burned. Normally such things would be such as for some special reason were to be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 27:29

Of men, not by men, as some would elude it; but of men, for it is manifest both from this and the foregoing verses, that men here are not the persons devoting, but devoted. Quest. Was it then lawful for any man or men thus to devote another person to the Lord, and in pursuance of such vow to put him to death? Answ. This was unquestionably lawful, and a duty in some cases, when persons have been devoted to destruction either by God’s sentence, as idolaters, Exodus 22:20; Deuteronomy 13:15, the... 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

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

Chapter 27Now the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, say unto them, When a man makes a singular vow, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation ( Leviticus 27:1-2 ).Now if you make a vow unto God and say, "God, I'm gonna give You my life," wonderful. "Now I want to take my life back. Lord, I've decided not to give You my life." Well hey, He won't play Indian giver with you. You want to take yourself back now? You don't want to give your life to God? Okay,... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

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
