G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 5:1-19

Commentators have not been in agreement in their interpretation of this section, some holding that it deals with the sin offering, some that it is the commencement of the trespass offering. I believe that the section dealing with the trespass offering begins here, notwithstanding that in the course of the passage the word "sin offering" occurs frequently. A careful examination will show that the sin offering merges into the trespass offering in interpretation. Trespass is more than a missing... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:7-10

The Alternative Guilt Offering of Birds (Leviticus 5:7-10 ). Leviticus 5:7 ‘And if his means suffice not for a lamb, then he shall bring his guilt offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to Yahweh, one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering.’ For this type of offering there is the alternative, as with the burnt offering, of offering birds, two turtle-doves or two young pigeons ‘if his means suffice not for a lamb’. In this case one... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:1-13

Leviticus 4:1 to Leviticus 5:13 . The Sin Offering.— This, and the guilt offering, whose ritual follows, are unknown before the Exile, save as fines ( 2 Kings 12:16, Amos 2:8). Ezek. mentions both, but is conscious of no difference between them. Probably the distinction between them grew up gradually (see on Ezekiel 5:14 ff.). The ritual is derived partly from that of the burnt offering and peace offering; partly from other old rites. No idea of substitution seems to be implied (though it is... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:7-13

Leviticus 5:7-1 Chronicles : . Concessions to Poverty in the case of sin offerings. This section takes up the last verses in Leviticus 4. (“ Guilt offering” in Leviticus 5:7 should be “ sin offering” as is shown by Leviticus 5:8 f.) If the offerer cannot afford a lamb, two turtle doves or young pigeons may be offered. Only one of these is properly a sin offering; but another, for a burnt offering, has to be given as well, as one would hardly be enough. Part of the blood is sprinkled on the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Leviticus 5:1-19

Trespasses Heedlessly CommittedSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 5:1.—If the soul … hear the voice of swearing. Sins may be acted out consciously and defiantly; for such there was no expiation provided. But sins may be committed without realising their sinfulness; of these the preceding chapter deals, and for such there was expiatory sacrifice and assured forgiveness. Yet, also, sins may be contracted where no volition or action occurs, by passive non-resistance, by tacit connivance, by incautious... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:1-19

Chapter 5Chapter five.And if a soul sinned, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of it; and he does not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity ( Leviticus 5:1 ).If you touch any unclean thing and it goes on with some of the sins that you know to be wrong, and you swear against God, or do things that are to you knowledgeable, you're guilty, you know it.Then you shall confess that he has sinned in that thing ( Leviticus 5:5 ):So even though you were to... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 5:1-19

Leviticus 5:1. He shall bear his iniquity. Proverbs 29:24, seems to refer to this passage. “He that hears cursing, and betrays it not, hates his own soul.” The sons of Belial said, that they heard Naboth blaspheme God and the king. Both Satan and his servants will cite the scriptures to impose and deceive. Leviticus 5:2. If a soul touch any unclean thing. The carcase of a reptile, of an unclean beast, or a dead body. The daily impurities of the Hebrews were cleansed by washing, and by... read more
