Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:1-13

1-13 Zeal for the service of God disposed the Israelites, on some occasions, to dedicate themselves or their children to the service of the Lord, in his house for life. Some persons who thus dedicated themselves might be employed as assistants; in general they were to be redeemed for a value. It is good to be zealously affected and liberally disposed for the Lord's service; but the matter should be well weighed, and prudence should direct as to what we do; else rash vows and hesitation in doing... read more

Of Men and Beasts v. 1. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 2. Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, an exceptional, unusual, special promise to the Lord, which involved the offering of his own body to the Lord for some service in His worship, the persons shall be for the Lord by thy estimation; the redemption from the obligations of the promise had to be made in accordance with the estimate given out, first by Moses and later by the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 27:1-34

In this final page of the Book of Leviticus we have something superadded to actual laws and yet of very vital importance. It is concerned with vows. A vow is a promise made to God voluntarily and not in obedience to any divine requirement. That is not to suggest that a vow is wrong. It expresses a devotion of the person or of property to the service of God beyond that which is demanded in the strict economy of relationship. It is not necessary therefore that any such vows should be made, but... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:2-8

The Price of Redemption from a Vow (Leviticus 27:2-8 ). Leviticus 27:2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for Yahweh by your estimation.” When anyone comes to the end of their vow a price must be paid for their release. They have been dedicated to the service of Yahweh. They cannot therefore just withdraw. The purpose of this was in order that people might recognise the seriousness of such a vow. It involved a physical... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:1-8

Leviticus 27:1-Ruth : . Commutation for a Person.— Where an individual vows himself or herself to Yahweh ( cf. Judges 11:30 f., 1 Samuel 1:28) the commutation price will vary in proportion to the valuation of his or her labour; for a man in the prime of life this will amount to 50 sacred silver shekels ( cf. “ thirty pieces of silver” ). This would be equivalent in early post-exilic times to something under £ 7 (the sacred silver shekel probably being equivalent to the heavy Phœ nician... read more
