Leviticus 7:2 NIV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 7:1-2

Leviticus 7:1-2. Here the priests are directed in their office about the trespass- offerings, as the people had been before. The blood shall he sprinkle round about This is a different rule from that observed in the sin-offering, the blood of which was to be put upon the horns of the altar, Leviticus 4:25; but this was to be sprinkled round about it, as was ordered respecting the whole burnt-offerings. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-38

The law of the offerings (6:8-7:38)In the section known as ‘the law of the offerings’, the additional regulations were mainly for the benefit of the officiating priests. These regulations have already been dealt with in the discussion on the preceding chapters. Although the present chapters list the offerings in a slightly different order from the earlier chapters, the same five categories are dealt with: the burnt offering (6:8-13; see notes on 1:1-17), the cereal offering (6:14-23; see notes... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 7:1-10

The law of the trespass (reparation) offering for the priests 7:1-10Here we have more detail concerning the ritual involved in this offering than we read formerly (ch. 5). The procedures for slaughtering the trespass offering and sprinkling its blood were the same as for the burnt offering (Leviticus 1:5). The priests burned only the fatty parts on the altar (cf. Leviticus 3:9; Leviticus 4:8). They were to eat the flesh of this offering (cf. Leviticus 6:22)."Ministers must assure repentant... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:1-38

Directions to the Priests (continued)1-10. The Guilt Offering. Leviticus 7:8-10 refer to private offerings and the priest’s share in them.11-21. The Peace Offering. Three kinds of peace offerings are distinguished here, viz. the thank offering (Leviticus 7:12), and the votive and free will offerings (Leviticus 7:16). The former, as its name implies, would be presented after a benefit had been received; the latter, while the benefit was still expected, as an accompaniment of supplication.12. The... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 7:2

(2, 4) In the place where they kill.—That is, the north side of the altar (Leviticus 1:11).Shall they kill the trespass offering.—That is, the people who bring these sacrifices shall kill them, since the offerers themselves slaughtered the victim. (See Leviticus 1:5.)The blood thereof shall he sprinkle.—Better, throw the blood. (See Leviticus 1:5.) Unlike the sin offering, the blood of which was thrown upon the horns of the altar (Leviticus 4:25; Leviticus 4:30; Leviticus 4:34), that of the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-7

THE GUILT OFFERINGLeviticus 5:14; Leviticus 6:7; Leviticus 7:1-7As in the English version, so also in the Hebrew, the special class of sins for which the guilt offering is prescribed, is denoted by a distinct and specific word. That word, like the English "trespass," its equivalent, always has reference to an invasion of the rights of others, especially in respect of property or service. It is used, for instance, of the sin of Achan (Joshua 7:1), who had appropriated spoil from Jericho, which... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:1-38

THE LAW OF THE TRESPASS OFFERING (vv. 1-10) In common with all the other offerings, the trespass offering was “most holy.” It was to be killed in the same place as the burnt offering. Its blood was to be sprinkled all around on the altar. The fat tail, the fat that covered the entrails, the two kidneys and the fat that was on them, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver were to be removed and burnt on the altar by the priest. These all speak of characteristics of Christ that are entirely... read more
