Leviticus 22:17-25 KJV

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-25

Just as the priests who offer to the Lord are to be ceremonially and morally holy, so the animals offered to him are to be physically perfect, in order Whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer. The list of blemishes and malformations which exclude from the altar is given; they are such as deform the animal, and make it less valuable: blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the Lord, nor any animal that is bruised, or... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-25

The perfection demanded in the sacrificial victims contains a typical, a symbolical, and a moral lesson. I. THEY MUST BE PERFECT , THAT THEY MAY BE TYPES OF CHRIST . The perfect Victim must not be represented by anything imperfect. There are but few points in which the perfection of Christ, both absolute and in relation to the work which as the appointed Victim he was to fulfil, could be foreshadowed by the animals offered in sacrifice, but this was one—that they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-30

Characteristics of acceptable service. The very fact that all the points here referred to have been fully brought out before lends strong emphasis to them as matters of vital importance in the estimation of God. If our worship and service are to be acceptable, there must be— I. SPONTANEITY OF SPIRIT . "Ye shall offer at your own will" ( Leviticus 22:19 ); "when ye will offer … offer it at your own will" ( Leviticus 22:29 ). There is a wilfulness in worship which is blamable... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-33

Laws of the oblations. These naturally follow those concerning the priests, which form the subject of the earlier portion of this chapter. They may be considered— I.

Ye shall offer at your own will a male - Rather, That it may be accepted (so Leviticus 22:29) for you it shall be a male. See Leviticus 1:3. It is the same phrase as in Leviticus 22:20-21, Leviticus 22:27. read more

The literal meaning of the passage in italics is, and this shall ye not do in your land. It appears to have been understood by the Jews as a prohibition of the mutilation of animals. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 22:25

A stranger’s hand - The word here rendered “stranger”, is not the same as that in Leviticus 22:10, Leviticus 22:18 : it means literally, “the son of the unknown”, and probably refers to one dwelling in another land who desired to show respect to the God of Israel. See 1 Kings 8:41. read more

Leviticus 22:19. Ye shall offer it at your own will This is better rendered by the Seventy, the Arabic, and other versions, In order to its being accepted ye shall offer a male. And so we render the same word לרצון , leratson, in the next verse. Males were required in burnt-offerings: but females were accepted in peace-offerings and sin-offerings. read more
