Leviticus 7:11-14 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 7:11-34

All this relates to the peace-offerings: it is the repetition and explication of what we had before, with various additions. I. The nature and intention of the peace-offerings are here more distinctly opened. They were offered either, 1. In thankfulness for some special mercy received, such as recovery from sickness, preservation in a journey, deliverance at sea, redemption out of captivity, all which are specified in Ps. 107:1-43, and for them men are called upon to offer the sacrifice of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:11

And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which ye shall offer unto the Lord. Some other laws and rules respecting the oblation of them: in Leviticus 3:1 an account is given of what they should be, both of the herd and flock, and of the burning of the fat of them; and here the several sorts of them are distinctly observed, what should be offered with them, and the part the priest should have of it, and when the flesh of them should be eaten. read more

If he offer it for a thanksgiving ,.... Which Jarchi restrains to the wonderful deliverances of seafaring persons, of travellers, and of such as have been confined in prison, or have laboured under violent diseases and disorders of body; and so Aben Ezra seems to understand it only of thanksgivings on account of being delivered out of distress; but it might be for the common mercies of life, or any particular mercy or instance of divine goodness a man was sensible of, and thought proper in... read more

Besides the cakes ,.... The unleavened cakes, and the unleavened wafers, and the fried cakes; or with these, as Aben Ezra and Abendana interpret it: he shall offer for his offering leavened bread, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings ; not that this was offered upon the altar, for all leaven was forbidden there, Leviticus 2:11 but it was given to the priest, that he might have change of bread, and such as was agreeable to him, to eat with the flesh of the peace... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:14

And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the Lord ,.... That is, one out of the unleavened cakes, and out of the unleavened wafers, and out of the cakes fried, and out of the cakes leavened; lo, says Aben Ezra, four at least, and the truth is, adds he, there were ten; and so Maimonides F8 Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 9. sect. 17,18,21. says, the priest took out of all the four cakes, one out of every sort, as it is said, "and of it he shall offer... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:11

Verse 11 Leviticus 7:11.And this is the law of the sacrifice. I have elsewhere (282) stated my reasons for calling this kind of sacrifice “the sacrifice of prosperities.” That they were offered not only in token of gratitude, but when God’s aid was implored, is plain both from this and other passages; yet in all cases the Jews thus testified that they acknowledged God as the author of all good things, whether they returned thanks for some notable blessing, or sought by His aid to be delivered... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:9-15

The peace offering of thanksgiving. At the conclusion of the instructions concerning the trespass offering, we have a few directions concerning the meat offering ( Leviticus 7:9 , Leviticus 7:10 ). Whatever of it was dressed was to be given to the priest that offered it, to be consumed by himself and his family. But that "mingled with oil, and dry" was to be divided amongst the sons of Aaron. The reason appears to be economical. What was prepared would not keep, and was therefore to be... read more
