Leviticus 6:7-7:38

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

This is the latter part of the law of the trespass-offering: the former part, which concerned trespasses about holy things, we had in the close of the foregoing chapter; this concerns trespasses in common things. Observe here, I. The trespass supposed, Lev. 6:2, 3. Though all the instances relate to our neighbour, yet it is called a trespass against the Lord, because, though the injury be done immediately to our neighbour, yet an affront is thereby given to his Maker and our Master. He that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:7

And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord ,.... By offering the ram he brought, by which a typical, but not real atonement was made; for the blood of bulls and goats, of sheep and rams, could not take away sin; but as they were types of Christ, and led to him, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world: and it shall be forgiven him, for anything of all that he hath done, in trespassing therein ; any and everyone of the above sins, with all the aggravations... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:7

Verse 7 1.Likewise this is the law. I have just confessed that I do not sufficiently understand how these two words, חטאה, chateah, and אשם , asham, differ from each other; and I have therefore followed the sense which is commonly received, and called them the sin and the trespass-offering, (hostiam pro peccato vel pro delicto.) Although in this second kind of offering he commands the same ceremony to be observed as in the former one, yet he mentions some things which he had before omitted,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Restitution. This paragraph ought to have been included in the preceding chapter, as it is the conclusion of the subject there considered. The last paragraphs treated of sacrilege, or trespass in the holy things of God; this has reference to trespass between man and man. We have here— I. AN ENUMERATION OF WRONGS . These may be distributed into two classes, viz.: 1 . In matters of fraud. These may be 2. In matters of violence. Such as II. AGGRAVATIONS OF THE... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Human ownership and dishonesty. From the Divine directions here given as to the trespass offering, in the case of wrong between man and man, we gather— I. THAT GOD ALLOWS US TO CONSIDER HIS GIFTS AS BELONGING TO OURSELVES . By inheritance or by labour we acquire property; a man has a right to say, concerning an object thus legally acquired, "This is mine." The possession of property is carefully guarded by the declarations of God's Word; "the commandments of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Dishonesty atoned for. The rebukes tacitly administered by the Law in cases of unjust dealing are neither effete nor unnecessary in modern days. The practices here reprehended still survive, commercial immorality is even yet a fruitful topic of remark. Temptations to dishonesty abound, and are as potent as of yore, for the springs of evil in the human breast remain unaltered, pouring forth their dark and bitter waters. And whilst it is not by works that the children of God expect to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

Trespasses done wittingly. These were acts of lying, fraud, deceit, violence, or any social wrong involving conscious trespass on the rights of our neighbour. I. SOCIAL MORALITY RESTS UPON RELIGION . Offenses against neighbours, offenses against God. No true support of society apart from faith. Follies of the modern skeptical school. Enthusiasm of humanity, atheism, development of morality out of a physical basis,—mere dreams of the intellect. Facts of history show that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

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

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:1-7

The Guilt (or Trespass) Offering. Two cases are mentioned in which it is proper to bring a guilt offering. The first (Lev 5:15) is that of a person who occasions loss to the sanctuary by either consuming or keeping back some 'holy thing' (see on Lev 2:3). He is required to restore the value of the thing plus one fifth by way of a penalty (Lev 5:16), and to present a guilt offering. The second case is that of a person who causes loss to his neighbour. The same is required of him (Lev 6:4-7), see... read more
