Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:30-34

The Law Concerning Tithes (Leviticus 27:30-34 ). Leviticus 27:30 “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is Yahweh’s. It is holy to Yahweh.” That part of the produce of the land which is a tithe is holy to Yahweh.

It was their inheritance from Yahweh. Later, in view... read more

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

"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

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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:34

34. The Lord commanded Moses Not some unknown forger in the days of the kings or after the Babylonian exile. Nevertheless we have no objection to the position of Dr. George P. Fisher, “That there was a growth in Hebrew laws; that the codes were kept open, the original rubrics being retained; that legislation was added from time to time, under the guidance of the prophets, to suit changing circumstances, new ordinances being looked on as Mosaic, for the reason that they were conceived in... read more
