L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:1-19

OFFERING FOR A SPECIFIC SIN (vv. 1-6) The subject of the sin offering is continued in this chapter up to the end of verse 13. It is a descending scale, for the specific sin has to be brought to the attention of the offender, and the offering made, but allowance also made for a lesser offering in the case of poverty. Verse 1 is a sin of omission. One may hear and know of a matter of serious importance and yet not report it. In law this is called misprision, but it is sin before God. “The voice... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:1-19

THE SIN AND TRESPASS OFFERINGS THE SIN OFFERING The data for the sin offering is found in Leviticus 4:1-35 ; Leviticus 5:1-13 and Leviticus 6:24-30 . As to the name of this offering, it will be seen that “sin” is mentioned here for the first time in connection with the law of the offerings. The idea of sin is included in the others, but it was not the predominating idea as it is here. There was atonement for sin in the other offerings, but rather for sin in man’s nature than the actual... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Leviticus 5:1-19

Moral Contagion Leviticus 5:0 In reading this chapter take notice of the expression, "if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty." Why this continual dread of uncleanness? Call these, if you please, merely sanitary arrangements, yet why this early care about matters connected with human health? Is not the provision... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:15

The ceremonies: omitted in Hebrew and Septuagint --- Sanctified [Sacrificed?], neglecting to pay the first-fruits; or, by mistake, eating any of the victims reserved for God, or for the priests. --- Two sicles. St. Jerome seems to have read in the dual number, whereas the Hebrew pointed copies have sicles indefinitely; and the Rabbins understand two, when the word is plural and undetermined. Theodoret reads fifty, which some maintain is the ancient translation of the Septuagint, though it is... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 5:14-19

14-19 Here are offerings to atone for trespasses against a neighbour. If a man put to his own use unwittingly, any thing dedicated to God, he was to bring this sacrifice. We are to be jealous over ourselves, to ask pardon for the sin, and make satisfaction for the wrong, which we do but suspect ourselves guilty of. The law of God is so very broad, the occasions of sin in this guilty of. The law of God is so very broad, the occasions of sin in this world are so numerous, and we are so prone to... read more

Trespass-offerings in Case of Ignorance. v. 14. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, v. 15. if a soul commit a trespass, break the faith, neglect to discharge a debt due to God or man, the former sins only being considered here, and sin through ignorance in the holy things of the Lord, then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for a trespass-offering.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 5:14-19

Trespass-Offerings and Restitution Leviticus 5:14-19 ; Leviticus 6:1-7 The root idea of the Hebrew word for trespass is “failure of duty through negligence.” In addition to the sin itself, which is against God, as the august Custodian of the law and order of the universe, the injury, which such negligence inflicts upon one’s neighbor, must be met by a compensation and fine. Any sum which another has lost through us should, of course, be repaid, and a fifth part added, if required. But... read more
