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 7:7

As the sin offering is , so is the trespass offering, there is one law for them ,.... The same as in Leviticus 6:27 , the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it ; who by offering it made atonement for the trespass of the person that brings it, as typical of the atonement by the sacrifice of Christ; he was to have all but what was burnt, for himself and his sons; though no doubt but other priests then on duty in the court ate with him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:8

And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering ,.... In which the flesh was wholly burnt, and nothing of it remained to requite the priest for his trouble, as in other offerings: even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering, which he hath offered ; in some cases the skin itself was burnt, and then he could have nothing, see Leviticus 4:11 but in others the skin was reserved for the priest. There seems to be an emphasis upon the phrase "to himself", and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:9

And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven ,.... Or "every meat offering" F2 כל מנחה "omne munus", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, &c.; , whether dressed in one way or another, and which was done in one or other of these three ways, of which this was one, baked in an oven heated for that purpose: and all that is dressed in the frying pan ; such as we call pancakes: and in the pan ; which was different from the frying pan; it seems to be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:10

And every meat offering mingled with oil, and dry ,.... Rather it should be rendered "or dry" F3 וחרבה "vel aridum", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; that is, as Jarchi interprets it, that has no oil in it; the meat offering in common, let it be dressed in what way soever, was mingled with oil; but in the poor man's offering for sin, which was as a meat offering, no oil was to be put upon it, Leviticus 5:11 but whether the offering was with or without oil, moist or dry, it ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:8

The priest shall have to himself the skin - Bishop Patrick supposes that this right of the priest to the skin commenced with the offering of Adam, "for it is probable," says he, "that Adam himself offered the first sacrifice, and had the skin given him by God to make garments for him and his wife; in conformity to which the priests ever after had the skin of the whole burnt-offerings for their portion, which was a custom among the Gentiles as well as the Jews, who gave the skins of their... 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
