Leviticus 5:15 KJV

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 5:15

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:15

In the holy things of the Lord - This law seems to relate particularly to sacrilege, and defrauds in spiritual matters; such as the neglect to consecrate or redeem the firstborn, the withholding of the first-fruits, tithes, and such like; and, according to the rabbins, making any secular gain of Divine things, keeping back any part of the price of things dedicated to God, or withholding what man had vowed to pay. See a long list of these things in Ainsworth. With thy estimation - The... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:15-16

Refer to sins of omission, offenses in the holy things of the Lord ; that is, withholding tithes and offerings. The non-payment of tithes and offerings was looked upon as robbing Jehovah ( Malachi 3:8 ), and therefore it is that a trespass offering, involving compensation, and not only a sin offering, is required to atone for the offense. The ram that is to be offered is to be of a value fixed by the priest ( with thy estimation , i.e; according to the estimation of the priest), and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:15-16

Restitution to God. The trespass for which "God spake unto Moses" that the children of Israel should make atonement, was an offense in which there was present the element of reparable wrong-doing. Something, it was contemplated, would be done which could be in some respects made good, and where this was possible it was to be done. In most cases this would refer to wrong done to man; but here we have the truth that God may be wronged, and that he condescends to receive restitution at... read more
