Leviticus 7:1

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-10

Observe here, 1. Concerning the trespass-offering, that, being much of the same nature with the sin-offering, it was to be governed by the same rules, Lev. 7:6. When the blood and fat were offered to God to make atonement, the priests were to eat the flesh, as that of the sin-offering, in the holy place. The Jews have a tradition (as we have it from the learned bishop Patrick) concerning the sprinkling of the blood of the trespass-offering round about upon the altar, ?That there was a scarlet... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1

Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering ,.... Or the various rites and rules to be observed at the offering of it: the persons for whom it was to be made are described in the two preceding chapters, Leviticus 5:1 both such that sinned through ignorance, and knowingly, and here the place and parts of the offering, and how to be disposed of, are declared: it is most holy ; wholly devoted for sacred use, either to the Lord, or to his priests; there were some things the... read more

Further ritual of the trespass offering (see note on Le Leviticus 5:14 ). It is to be noted that the blood of the trespass offering is not to be placed on the horns of the altar, as was the rule in the ordinary sin offering, but cast against the inner side of the altar, as in the burnt offering and peace offering. The rump in Leviticus 7:3 should be translated tail, as in Leviticus 3:9 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-8

The law of the trespass offering. This, like the other offerings, was generally considered before (see Leviticus 5:1-19 and Leviticus 6:1-7 ). The repetition here, according to Hebrew usage, gives emphasis and solemnity to the injunctions. The subject is reopened to show more particularly the duties and privileges of the priesthood concerning it. And we notice— I. THAT THE TRESPASS OFFERING IS DESCRIBED AS MOST HOLY . 1 . It was most holy as typifying Christ.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-10

Emphatic truths orthings God lays stress upon. The great particularity and the occasional repetition shown in these ordinances point to the truth that God desired his people to attach very great weight to them. His servants were to understand that he laid great stress upon— I. THE WAY IN WHICH HE WAS APPROACHED IN WORSHIP . Distinctions were drawn between different offerings, the import of which we now find it hard to trace. Though, indeed, it is stated that "as the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-10

The trespass offering, burnt offering, and meat offering, affording support to the minister of the sanctuary and occasion for feasting. I. It is the intent of true religion that those consecrated to its service should be provided for liberally. II. Acknowledgment of sin and atonement made lead to rejoicing, and the festival life of man grows out of reconciliation with God. III. TYPICALLY ; Christ the High Priest is rewarded in the sanctification of his people "He shall see of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38

This chapter treats of the ritual of the trespass offering and the peace offerings, as the last chapter treated of that of the burnt offering, the meat offering, and the sin offering. The LXX . version attaches the first ten verses of this chapter to Leviticus 6:1-30 , beginning Leviticus 7:1-38 with our Leviticus 7:11 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38

Ministerial support. cf. 1 Corinthians 9:13 ; 1 Corinthians 10:18 . We have in this chapter a detailed account of the disposal of the offerings already referred to. The leading idea of the passage is the perquisites of the priests, and the Christian counterpart of this is ministerial support. And in this connection let us observe— I. IN ALL THE OFFERINGS THE FIRST CONCERN WAS TO ALLOCATE TO GOD HIMSELF HIS DUE . In particular he had appropriated to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:1-7

See Leviticus 5:14 note. In Leviticus 7:2 “sprinkle” should rather be cast Leviticus 1:5. All the details regarding the parts put on the altar are repeated for each kind of sacrifice, because the matter was one of paramount importance. read more
