Leviticus 5:15

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's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:14-19

Three Revelations Made By God To Moses All Related To Guilt/Compensation Offerings (Leviticus 5:14 to Leviticus 6:7 ). Three revelations are now made concerning the guilt offering and when it should be offered. Two of the three are introduced by the words, ‘And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying.’ They may have been given on two separate occasions. They were probably added here to connect with the previous reference to the Guilt Offering. In that instance no compensation was payable, although... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:14-19

Leviticus 5:14 to Leviticus 6:7 . The Trespass or Guilt Offering.— This is of two kinds, though the principle of amendment is the same. The first kind is stated vaguely; committing a trespass (the word means acting unfaithfully or treacherously; it is coupled with sinning “ unwittingly” in Leviticus 5:15; Leviticus 5:17). The offence consists in treating what is Yahweh’ s as if it were not Yahweh’ s, i.e. in-correctness, really unintentional, connected with some offering. If not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 5:15

If a soul commit a trespass against the Lord and his priests. And sin through ignorance; for if a man did it knowingly, he was to be cut off, Numbers 15:30. In the holy things of the Lord; in things consecrated to God, and to holy uses; of which see Leviticus 22:2; such as tithes and first-fruits, or any things due, or devoted, or offered to God, which possibly a man might either withhold, or employ to some common use. See Exodus 34:26; Deuteronomy 12:17,Deuteronomy 12:18; Deuteronomy 15:19;... 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Leviticus 5:14-19

Leviticus 5:14-19If a soul commit a trespass.The trespass-offeringI. As to the distinctive character of this offering.1. It was not a “sweet savour” offering. Christ is here seen suffering for sins; the view of His work is expiatory.2. It was a trespass as distinct from a sin-offering. Not the person, but the act of wrong-doing, is the point noticed and dwelt upon. And how solemn is the truth here taught us, that neither our conscience, nor our measure of light, nor our ability, but the truth... read more

In the holy things of the Lord. ] Things consecrate to him, by robbing and wronging of God and his priests; be it but through ignorance or error.
