Leviticus 5:14-6:7

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 Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:14

Verse 14 14.And the Lord spake unto Moses. The difference of the victim clearly shews, that another kind of offense is here referred to; for God now requires a male instead of a female. Before, He had been contented with an ewe lamb or a female kid; but inasmuch as a ram is more valuable, it follows that punishment is now awarded to a heavier offense. The heinousness of the fault depends upon the quality of the act; i.e., when a person shall have wronged not a mortal man merely, but God... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:14-15

If a soul commit a trespass. Two previous conditions were required of the Israelite before he might offer his trespass offering. 1 . He must make compensation for any harm or injury that he had done. 2 . He must give to the injured party a fine equal to one-fifth ( i.e; two-tenths) of the value of the thing of which he had deprived him, if the wrong was capable of being so estimated. In performing his sacrifice, he had while the priest The special lesson of the trespass... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:14-16

Trespass amended. I. To WITHHOLD FROM GOD HIS DUES IS SINFUL . The rigour of Leviticus may well sharpen that perception of sin which is so apt to become dim. God is wealthy, and yet will not submit tamely to robbery. Minute instructions were given concerning the offering of tithes, etc; for the use of his servants at the tabernacle, and for his glory; and to omit such offerings and to employ them in profane uses is here counted as acting covertly, as faithless dealing. For... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:14-19

The trespass offering differs from the sin offering in that it was not allowed to be presented until reparation had been made for the evil done by him who desired to offer it. Its special lesson to the Israelite was that satisfaction for sin is necessary for restoration to communion as well as sacrifice. ITS TYPICAL LESSON . Satisfaction implies that there is a debt due which must be paid. The debt is due to God; the debtor is man. Christ took upon himself the payment of the debt,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:14-19

Trespass in sacrilege. The verses now under consideration form a distinct matter of revelation, or were communicated to Moses at a separate time. This we infer from the opening words, "And the Lord spake unto Moses," comparing them with like expressions twice used already (see Le Leviticus 1:1 ; Leviticus 4:1 ). I. WILFUL SACRILEGE WAS PUNISHABLE WITH DEATH . 1 . It is fraud "in the holy things of the Lord." The treasures of the temple of whatever kind were also... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 5:14

(This comment exends through Leviticus 6:7). The trespass-offerings as they are described in this section and in Leviticus 7:1-7, are clearly distinguished from the ordinary sin-offerings in these particulars:(1) They were offered on account of offences which involved an injury to some person (it might be the Lord Himself) in respect to property. See Leviticus 5:16; Leviticus 6:4-5.(2) they were always accompanied by a pecuniary fine equal to the value of the injury done, with the addition of... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:14-19

The guilt offering (5:14-6:7)Regulations concerning the guilt offering (GNB: repayment offering) were similar to those for the sin offering made by non-priestly individuals, except that no gradations were allowed (7:1-10; see notes on 4:22-35).Like the sin offering, the guilt offering was offered when people realized they had committed sin unknowingly. But the guilt offering differed from the sin offering in that it was offered in cases where the wrongdoing involved money or things of monetary... read more
