Levítico 1:15-16 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 1:10-17

Here we have the laws concerning the burnt-offerings, which were of the flock or of the fowls. Those of the middle rank, that could not well afford to offer a bullock, would bring a sheep or a goat; and those that were not able to do that should be accepted of God if they brought a turtle-dove or a pigeon. For God, in his law and in his gospel, as well as in his providence, considers the poor. It is observable that those creatures were chosen for sacrifice which were most mild and gentle,... read more

And the priest shall bring it unto the altar ,.... The southeast horn of it; near which was the place of the ashes, into which the crop and its feathers were cast F14 Misn. Zebachim, c. 6. sect. 5. & Bartenora in ib. : and wring off his head ; by twisting it back as it should seem; the word used is only to be found here, and in Leviticus 5:8 the Jews say, it signifies to cut with the nail, and that the priest did this, not with a knife or any other instrument, but with his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 1:16

And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers ,.... Or "with its meat", or "dung", as Onkelos renders it, meaning that which was in its crop; and so the Jerusalem Targum interprets it, "with its dung"; and Jonathan's paraphrase is, "with its collection", or what was gathered together in the crop; it includes the entrails, as Gersom observes: and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes ; where the ashes of the burnt offering were put every day, and every... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 1:16

Pluck away his crop with his feathers - In this sacrifice of fowls the head was violently wrung off, then the blood was poured out, then the feathers were plucked off, the breast was cut open, and the crop, stomach, and intestines taken out, and then the body was burnt. Though the bird was split up, yet it was not divided asunder. This circumstance is particularly remarked in Abram's sacrifice, Genesis 15:10 . See Clarke's note Genesis 15:10 . See Ainsworth. We have already seen, on ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

The burnt offering ( Leviticus 1:1-17 ) typifies the perfect surrender of himself, made by the Lord Jesus Christ, and exhibited by his life and death on earth; and it teaches the duty of self-sacrifice on the part of man. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:1-17

Entire consecration, as illustrated in the burnt offering. cf. Romans 12:1 .—We start with the assumption that the Book of Exodus presents "the history of redemption." It is an account of how the Lord delivered the people he had chosen out of bondage, and brought them to himself ( Exodus 19:4 ). It contains, moreover, an account of the erection of the tabernacle, or "tent of meeting," where God proposed to dwell as a Pilgrim in the midst of a pilgrim people, and out of which would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:2-17

The true end of sacrifice,-entire consecration to God. We shall reach the end for which God introduced all that apparatus of Divine worship so elaborately described in this book if we take the following steps:— I. THE SEPARATING PRESENCE OF SIN IN THE HEART AND LIFE OF MAN . But for the sin which "separates between us and our God" there would have been unrestrained communion between man and his Maker in every age and land: no need of mediation, of special... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:2-17

Principles of spiritual sacrifice. All who know God are engaged, frequently, if not continually, in sacrificing unto him. Here are principles of sacrifice by which we may be guided. I. THAT GOD DESIRES AND DEMANDS THE BEST WE CAN BRING . If the offering were of the herd, it was to be a "male without blemish" ( Leviticus 1:3 ); so also if of the flock ( Leviticus 1:10 ). Not that which was of small account and could be well spared, but the worthiest and best. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 1:3-17

The burnt offering. It was wholly consumed by the fire of God's altar; nothing was left for the after consumption either of the offerer or even of God's ministers, as in the other sacrifices. I. IT TYPIFIES THE ENTIRE SELF - SURRENDER OF CHRIST TO GOD . 1. In his eternal resolve to redeem by becoming man. 2. In the humility of his birth on earth. 3. In the silence in which his youth was spent. 4. In the narrow limits within which he confined his... read more
