Levítico 5:12-19 NVT

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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 5:14-19

Hitherto in this chapter orders were given concerning those sacrifices that were both sin-offerings and trespass-offerings, for they go by both names, Lev. 5:6. Here we have the law concerning those that were properly and peculiarly trespass-offerings, which were offered to atone for trespasses done against a neighbour, those sins we commonly call trespasses. Now injuries done to another may be either in holy things or in common things; of the former we have the law in these verses; of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:12

Then shall he bring it to the priest ,.... The flour just as it was, not kneaded and made into a cake, as appears by what follows: and the priest shall take his handful of it ; as much of the flour as he could hold in one hand: even a memorial thereof ; to bring to mind his sin, and the goodness of God in admitting of an offering for it, and forgiving it upon that: and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord ; in the same manner as other... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:13

And the priest shall make an atonement for him ,.... By burning the handful of flour brought by him, as an emblem of the painful sufferings of Christ, whereby he made atonement for the sins of his people: as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these ; for whatsoever sin he had committed in any of the above cases, Leviticus 5:1 , and it shall be forgiven him ; upon the foot of the atonement made; See Gill on Leviticus 5:10 , and the remnant shall be the priest's as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:15

If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance in the holy things of the Lord ,.... In the payment of tithes, or offering first fruits as he ought, by withholding them, or any part of them, or through eating of sacred things he ought not: then shall he bring for his trespass unto the Lord ; for it being a trespass in holy things, it might be properly called a trespass to or against the Lord; unless this is rather to be understood of the offering brought to the Lord for his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:16

And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing ,.... This seems to favour the sense of the word "estimation", in the preceding verse, as understood of the estimate of the damage done in the holy things, which belonged to the priests, for which recompense was to be made according as the damage was valued: and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest ; besides paying the whole damage, he was to give a fifth part of the whole to the priest;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:17

And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord ,.... Respecting holy things: though he wist it not ; or did not know that he had transgressed a negative command: yet he is guilty, and shall bear the iniquity ; be chargeable with guilt, and is liable to punishment, and must make an atonement and satisfaction for it; see Luke 12:48 . read more

And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock ,.... See Gill on Leviticus 5:15 . with thy estimation for a trespass offering to the priest ; along with the offering was to be brought an estimate of whatsoever damage had been done through the breach of any of the commands of God, where damage could take place, that so recompense be made as before directed; or else the ram brought was to be valued, and examined whether it was worth two shekels of silver, as before... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:19

It is a trespass offering ,.... An offering for a trespass committed: he hath certainly trespassed against the Lord ; though committed ignorantly, and therefore an offering must be brought; for no sin of any kind must be overlooked, passed by, or forgiven, without a sacrifice, or without atonement made by sacrifice: or, "he shall offer a trespass offering to the Lord", or before the Lord, as Onkelos; or before the Word of the Lord, as Jonathan; and Maimonides out of Siphri F7 ... read more
