Leviticus 7:11

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:1-38

The law of the trespass offering is practically identical with that of the sin offering It is impossible to ponder these things without the mind turning to the great and infinite Sacrifice in which all the suggestions of the Mosaic economy were finally fulfilled. The peace offering was pre-eminently that of communion. In the law of this offering three kinds are recognized: an offering of thanksgiving, an offering in connection with vows, and one which is purely a free-will offering to God. In... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:11-21

The Law of the Sacrifice of the Peace Offerings (Leviticus 7:11-21 ). Finally the peace or wellbeing sacrifices are dealt with. These are of three types, the thanksgiving offering, which was a way of expressing thanks to God for particular blessings received, the votive offering or offering in respect of completing a vow, and the freewill offering, which was simply offered with the purpose of paying tribute to God and acknowledging Him as Lord, an offering made simply out of love for God.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:1-38

Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 7:38 . Special Manual for Priests, given to “ Aaron and his sons” ( Leviticus 6:9; Leviticus 6:14; Leviticus 6:25, etc.; contrast Leviticus 4:2, etc.). The peace offering is here placed last. It may be noted that two sections ( Leviticus 7:7-2 Samuel : and Leviticus 7:22-Daniel :) seem to break the connexion; they are perhaps insertions from independent laws. None of these provisions affect laymen. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:11-21

Leviticus 7:11-Ecclesiastes : . The Peace Offerings.— These are of two kinds, thanksgiving and vow or free-will offerings. The former is specially connected with the “ bread” or meal, in its character of a banquet ( cf. Leviticus 3:1 ff.). But the relative portions of priest and offerer are here more closely defined. One cake is to be lifted up from the rest, as a “ heave-offering” ( Numbers 5:9 *), the due of the officiating priest. The second class of peace offerings is holier, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38

Ritual of the Sacrifices: the Peace OfferingSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 7:1.—Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering. More precise instructions are now added to those given in chap Leviticus 5:1-13, expressly for the guidance of the priest. Every minute detail is of Divine regulation; God rules within the sanctuary, directs every particular of worship and service therein; for altar sacrifice is “most holy,” and man must scrupulously refrain from adding, omitting, or altering aught... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Leviticus 7:11

DISCOURSE: 126THE PEACE-OFFERINGLeviticus 7:11. This is the law of the sacrifice of peace-offerings.IN the order in which the different offerings are spoken of, the peace-offering occurs the third; but, in the third chapter, the law of the peace-offerings is no further stated than it accords with the burnt-offering; and the fuller statement is reserved for the passage before us. Hence in the enumeration of the different offerings in verse 37, the peace-offering is fitly mentioned last. That we... read more

C.I. Scofield

Scofield's Reference Notes - Leviticus 7:11

peace-offerings In the "law of the offerings," the peace-offering is taken out of its place as third of the sweet savour offerings, and placed alone, and after all the non-sweet savour offerings. The explanation is as simple as the fact is beautiful. In revealing the offerings Jehovah works from Himself out to the sinner. (See Scofield " :-") . The whole burnt-offering comes first as meeting what is due to the divine affections, and the trespass-offering last as meeting the simplest aspect of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38

Chapter 7Going on into chapter seven, sort of a repetition again as God deals with the trespass offering, offering a few additions to what has already been said, and then in verse eleven as God gets into the peace offering.The peace offering was alsofor a thanksgiving ( Leviticus 7:12 ),It was fellowship, but it was fellowship in thanksgiving unto God. And it was to be offered in-it talks about a heave offering. Now the heave offering is the offering that they would lift up in a heaving motion... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 7:1-38

Leviticus 7:10. Every meat-offering, whether mingled with oil or dry, that is, not mingled, as the Vulgate very properly renders it. In later times these offerings were prepared at the foot of Mount Olivet. The priests and privileged persons ate in the temple, while suitable conveniences were made for all the worshippers, and for the gentiles to eat apart. Leviticus 7:12. Thanksgiving. Jacob, after he had seen the ladder at Bethel, made a vow to devote the tenth of his increase to the... read more
