Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 1:4

Was not this laying of the hand upon the head of the sacrifice, meant to testify the transferring of the guilt of him that offered the sacrifice, upon the sacrifice itself, and presenting it thus to God? And did not this, most expressly typify Christ? Galatians 3:13 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:4

Victim. To transfer all the curses due to him upon it, (Eusebius, Demon. i. 10,) and to testify that he gives it up entirely for the honour of God. (Lyranus) --- The Egyptians cut off the head of the victim, and vented upon it imprecations, begging that the gods would discharge upon it all the evils which they had deserved. Then they sold it to some foreigner, or threw it into the Nile. (Herod. ii. 39.) All nations seem to have acknowledged, that life would be given for life. Hanc animam vobis... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:3-9

3-9 In the due performance of the Levitical ordinances, the mysteries of the spiritual world are represented by corresponding natural objects; and future events are exhibited in these rites. Without this, the whole will seem unmeaning ceremonies. There is in these things a type of the sufferings of the Son of God, who was to be a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world? The burning body of an animal was but a faint representation of that everlasting misery, which we all have deserved; and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-16

Leviticus 1 - 2: 16. We now commence the book of Leviticus, and we must connect chapter Lev_1:1 , with Exo_40:38 . The Lord had been speaking to Moses from Sinai; but He spoke "out of the tabernacle" directly His glory had taken possession of it. Thus He manifested His presence. We see a parallel to this in Acts 2.0 . When God formed His spiritual house, by the disciples in Jerusalem being "builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit" ( Eph_2:22 ), the first manifestation of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 1:1-9

Of the Herd v. 1. And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, out of the midst of the cloud which enveloped his glory, Exodus 40:35, saying, v. 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, if any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd and of the flock. The sacrifices brought by individuals are described first, voluntary offerings, through which the worshiper... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Leviticus 1:1-9

Leviticus THE BURNT OFFERING A PICTURE AND A PROPHECY Lev_1:1 - Lev_1:9 . In considering the Jewish sacrificial system, it is important to distinguish the symbolical from the typical value of the sacrifices. The former could scarcely be quite unnoticed by the offerers; but the latter was only gradually made plain, was probably never very generally seen, and is a great deal clearer to us, in the light of Christ, the Antitype, than it could ever have been before His coming. As symbols, the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

Burned-Offerings of the Herd, Flocks and Fowls Leviticus 1:1-17 Jehovah speaks with Moses, not from Sinai’s summit, but from the Tabernacle, because He has come to dwell with men on the earth. Compare Exodus 20:22 ; Exodus 25:8 . The early chapters of this book contain the law of the offerings. He who was to be worshiped prescribed the manner in which He was to be approached. These sacrifices also were intended to typify the great offering which our Lord would one day, in the fullness of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 1:1-17

The Book of Leviticus is the Book of Laws. It first deals with laws of dedication concerning the offerings, all of which have to do with the divine provision for the people's approach to Jehovah in worship. Five offerings are named. The first, dealt with in this chapter, was the burnt offering, suggesting the need of personal dedication to God. Those who are admitted to the place of worship are such as have utterly failed to render their life to God thus perfectly. Therefore the offering they... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-9

The Blood of the Cross in Leviticus Leviticus 1:1-9 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The story of the sacrifices begins in the Bible immediately after the story of man's sin. It was then that God took the skin of the slain beast with which to robe the nakedness of our first parents. It was shortly after that the firstling of the flock was slain by Abel, and the smell of his sacrifice went up as a sweet smelling savor unto God. The story of special sacrifices is particularly emphasized, in its details, in... read more
