Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:1-2

Yahweh Commences Instructing Moses Concerning Offerings And Sacrifices (Leviticus 1:1-2 ). Leviticus 1:1 ‘And Yahweh called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,’ Notice the ‘and’ at the beginning. This connects the verse to the last verses in Exodus, where ‘the tent of meeting’, that is, the Tabernacle, was dealt with, and where the cloud and fire covered the Tabernacle to denote God’s protective care and presence. Now we are to learn how God spoke to Moses from... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:1-9

Leviticus 1-7. The Law of Sacrifices: Burnt Offering (1), Meal Offering (2), Peace Offering (3), Sin Offering ( Leviticus 4:1 to Leviticus 5:13), Trespass Offering ( Leviticus 5:14-Psalms :), Directions chiefly for Priests ( Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 7:38). I. Burnt Offering or Whole Burnt Offering.— This is η constant element in the worship of the community; it is too solemn for the victim to be shared by the offerer. In the historical books, we find it practised before some great occasion... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

The Law of the Burnt SacrificesSUGGESTIVE READINGSLeviticus 1:1.—Lord called … and spake. From within the Tabernacle: God’s first habitation among men. Never before had He “dwelt with men on the earth”; He speaks now for the first time from His holy tent in Israel’s midst. It foreshadowed the “Word tabernacling among us” (John 1:14). “The Lord called” is a phrase specially used when important communications were to follow; as from the burning bush (Exodus 3:4), and from Sinai’s heights... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-6

Leviticus 1:1-6 I. The very same voice which proclaimed the commandments on Sinai is here said to announce the nature of the sacrifices, and how, when, and by whom they are to be presented. The unseen King and Lawgiver is here, as everywhere, making known His will. Those sacrifices which it was supposed were to bend and determine His will themselves proceeded from it. II. These words were spoken to the children of Israel out of the tabernacle. The tabernacle was the witness of God's abiding... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

As we get into Leviticus we get into the various offerings and the method by which they were to be offered unto the Lord. It is getting into a system that is very foreign to us, because it is a covenant that has now been set aside, that God might establish a better covenant with us. This covenant of the sacrifice of the animals could never make anything perfect, but all it could do is to point ahead to that sacrifice that was to be offered, whereby we could be brought into full perfection... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 1:1-17

Leviticus 1:4. Make atonement for him, he having first laid his hand on the head of the bullock, and confessed his sin. A burnt-offering for sin is here mentioned as the first of all the sacrifices, because deliverance from guilt, and reconciliation with God, should ever be our great and principal concern. It must be offered at the door of the tabernacle, then slain and cut in pieces, and its parts conveyed to and burnt upon the altar, for there is no entrance into this holy habitation... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Leviticus 1:1

Leviticus 1:1The Lord called unto Moses, and spake. The origin and authority of LeviticusThese words evidently contain by necessary implication two affirmations: first, that the legislation which immediately follows is of Mosaic origin--“The Lord spake unto Moses”; and secondly, that it was not the product merely of the mind of Moses, but came to him, in the first instance, as a revelation from Jehovah--“Jehovah spake unto Moses.” And although it is quite true that the words in this first verse... read more
