Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 5:1-6

I. The offences here supposed are, 1. A man's concealing the truth when he was sworn as a witness to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Judges among the Jews had power to adjure not only the witnesses, as with us, but the person suspected (contrary to a rule of our law, that no man is bound to accuse himself), as appears by the high priest adjuring our Saviour, who thereupon answered, though before he stood silent, Matt. 26:63, 64. Now (Lev. 5:1), If a soul sin (that... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 5:7-13

Provision is here made for the poor of God's people, and the pacifying of their consciences under the sense of guilt. Those that were not able to bring a lamb might bring for a sin-offering a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons; nay, if any were so extremely poor that they were not able to procure these so often as they would have occasion, they might bring a pottle of fine flour, and this should be accepted. Thus the expense of the sin-offering was brought lower than that of any other... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:6

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord, for the sin which he hath sinned ,.... To make atonement for it; this was typical of the sacrifice of Christ, whose soul was made an offering for sin, אשם , "Asham" a trespass offering, Isaiah 53:10 where the same word is used as here: a female from the flock, a lamb, or kid of the goats, for a sin offering ; it is generally thought there was a difference between a trespass offering and a sin offering; but it is not easy to say... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:7

And if he be not able to bring a lamb ,.... He is not possessed of a lamb, nor able to purchase one: then he shall bring for his trespass which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the Lord ; either the one or the other; these were common, and in great plenty in the land of Israel, as Maimonides F25 Moreh Nevochim, par. 3. c. 46. observes, which was the reason of their being ordered, since to be had cheap. The turtledoves were larger, as the Targum of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:8

And he shall bring them unto the priest ,.... Either two turtledoves, or two young pigeons: who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first ; that which is chosen for it, as the Targum of Jonathan; and this choice was made, not by the priest, but by the man that brought the offering, who separated it, and said, lo, this is a sin offering, and after that said, lo, this is a burnt offering F1 Ib. (Maimon & Bratenora) in Misn. Zebachim, c. 10. sect. 4. ; the sin... read more

And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar ,.... Or "wall" F3 על קיר επι τον τοιχον , Sept. "super parietem", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Drusius; "ad parietem", Tigurine version. it is asked F4 Maimon. in Misn. Zebachim, c. 6. sect. 4. ,"what is the wall at which the rest of the blood is wrung out? this is the lower wall, namely, the half of the height of the altar below, under the thread (of scarlet that... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:6

Verse 6 6.And he shall bring his trespass-offering. He proceeds with what we have already been considering, as to the removal of guilt by sacrifice; but he begins to make a distinction between the poor and the rich, which distinction applies also to what has gone before; hence it appears that the order is not exactly observed by Moses, since the cases which he inserts seem to interrupt the thread of his discourse; yet the fact remains clear, that whosoever have fallen through error are unclean... read more
