Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 27:26

"Only the firstling among beasts, which is made a firstling to Jehovah, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is Jehovah's. And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thine estimation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation."Some things could not be redeemed, and this passage cites the first of these, namely, the firstborn (firstling) of either ox or sheep. The reason... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 27:28

"Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto Jehovah of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto Jehovah. No one devoted, that shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death."The word "devoted" in this passage has the simple meaning of "accursed."[11] We may be certain, therefore, that the authority thus to "devote" another human being... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 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 Jehovah's: it is holy unto Jehovah. And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof. And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto Jehovah. He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then, both it and that for which it is changed shall be... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 27:28-29

Leviticus 27:28-29. Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, &c.— The word which we render a vow, in the second verse, is נדר neder, by which, (whoever devoted any thing to God,) there remained a power of redemption. Another kind of vow called חרם cherem, is here mentioned; whereby, (whoever devoted any thing to God;) there remained no power of redemption. Things thus devoted were most holy; i.e. so solemnly adjudged or separated to religious uses, that they could not be at all alienated. Some... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 27:30

Leviticus 27:30. And all the tithe of the land— The tithe is here spoken of as a thing fixed and known; upon which subject see Genesis 28:22. All these tithes (whether of the seed of the land, i.e. the corn; or of the fruit of the tree, i.e. wine and oil; Numbers 18:12; Numbers 20:5.Deuteronomy 14:23; Deuteronomy 14:23.) were to be appropriated to God; i.e. to the maintenance of his priests and ministers. There is a law, indeed, in the last quoted passage of Deuteronomy, which ordains the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 27:32

Leviticus 27:32. Whatsoever passeth under the rod— The Jews understand this of the tithing rod, a rod coloured with ochre, with which a man stood at the door of the field, and numbered the cattle as they came out, marking every tenth with his rod: but Bochart understands it more simply of the shepherd's rod or crook, under which the flock passed as often as he numbered them; which was generally twice a day: of this Jeremiah speaks, chap. Jer 33:13 and to this Ezekiel alludes, saying, in God's... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:26

26, 27. Only the firstling of the beasts—These, in the case of clean beasts, being consecrated to God by a universal and standing law (Exodus 13:12; Exodus 34:19), could not be devoted; and in that of unclean beasts, were subject to the rule mentioned (Leviticus 27:11; Leviticus 27:12). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:28

28, 29. no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the Lord of all that he hath, . . . shall be sold or redeemed—This relates to vows of the most solemn kind—the devotee accompanying his vow with a solemn imprecation on himself not to fail in accomplishing his declared purpose. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:29

29. shall surely be put to death—This announcement imported not that the person was to be sacrificed or doomed to a violent death; but only that he should remain till death unalterably in the devoted condition. The preceding regulations were evidently designed to prevent rashness in vowing ( :-) and to encourage serious and considerate reflection in all matters between God and the soul ( :-). read more
