Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-10

Observe here, 1. Concerning the trespass-offering, that, being much of the same nature with the sin-offering, it was to be governed by the same rules, Lev. 7:6. When the blood and fat were offered to God to make atonement, the priests were to eat the flesh, as that of the sin-offering, in the holy place. The Jews have a tradition (as we have it from the learned bishop Patrick) concerning the sprinkling of the blood of the trespass-offering round about upon the altar, ?That there was a scarlet... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:3

And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof ,.... To the Lord, that being claimed by him, as in the peace offerings of the herd, and of the flock, whether a bullock or cow, a lamb or a goat, Leviticus 3:3 , &c.; and in the sin offering of the bullock, Leviticus 1:8 , and the rump , or tail, which of sheep and rams, for the trespass offering, was very large and fat in those countries; See Gill on Exodus 29:22 , Leviticus 3:9 , and the fat that covereth the inwards ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:4

And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them ,.... Which are usually covered with fat: which is by the flanks : or rather that which is "upon" them F25 אשר על הכסלים "et qui est superiliis", Tigurine version. ; for this respects not the situation of the kidneys, nor the fat upon them, but the fat which is upon the flanks, as distinct from that, and where there are great collops of it, see Job 15:27 , and the caul that is above the liver ; the lobe upon the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-6

Further ritual of the trespass offering (see note on Le Leviticus 5:14 ). It is to be noted that the blood of the trespass offering is not to be placed on the horns of the altar, as was the rule in the ordinary sin offering, but cast against the inner side of the altar, as in the burnt offering and peace offering. The rump in Leviticus 7:3 should be translated tail, as in Leviticus 3:9 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-8

The law of the trespass offering. This, like the other offerings, was generally considered before (see Leviticus 5:1-19 and Leviticus 6:1-7 ). The repetition here, according to Hebrew usage, gives emphasis and solemnity to the injunctions. The subject is reopened to show more particularly the duties and privileges of the priesthood concerning it. And we notice— I. THAT THE TRESPASS OFFERING IS DESCRIBED AS MOST HOLY . 1 . It was most holy as typifying Christ.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-10

Emphatic truths orthings God lays stress upon. The great particularity and the occasional repetition shown in these ordinances point to the truth that God desired his people to attach very great weight to them. His servants were to understand that he laid great stress upon— I. THE WAY IN WHICH HE WAS APPROACHED IN WORSHIP . Distinctions were drawn between different offerings, the import of which we now find it hard to trace. Though, indeed, it is stated that "as the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-10

The trespass offering, burnt offering, and meat offering, affording support to the minister of the sanctuary and occasion for feasting. I. It is the intent of true religion that those consecrated to its service should be provided for liberally. II. Acknowledgment of sin and atonement made lead to rejoicing, and the festival life of man grows out of reconciliation with God. III. TYPICALLY ; Christ the High Priest is rewarded in the sanctification of his people "He shall see of... read more
