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

"This is the anointing-portion of Aaron, and the anointing-portion of his sons, out of the offering of Jehovah made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto Jehovah in the priest's office; which Jehovah commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations."This paragraph refers to the various portions of certain sacrifices given to the priests, portions here called anointing-portions.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 7:35

Leviticus 7:35. This is the portion of the anointing— There is nothing for portion in the original: the Hebrew is, this is the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons; by which is meant, "this is the privilege or portion of their unction or appointment to the priest's office." Ainsworth has given us many examples of similar metonymies in the Hebrew. Thus divination is used for the rewards of divination, Numbers 22:7. Iniquity is often put for the punishment or desert of iniquity, Lev... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:35

35-38. This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron—These verses contain a general summing up of the laws which regulate the privileges and duties of the priests. The word "anointing" is often used as synonymous with "office" or "dignity." So that the "portion of the anointing of Aaron" probably means the provision made for the maintenance of the high priest and the numerous body of functionaries which composed the sacerdotal order. in the day when he presented them to minister unto the Lord,... read more

6. Instructions for the priests concerning the offerings 6:8-7:38"The five basic sacrifices are . . . introduced twice, each sacrifice being treated both in the main section addressed to the people [Leviticus 1:1 to Leviticus 6:7] and in the supplementary section addressed to the priests [Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 7:38]." [Note: Lindsey, p. 172.] The main theme of this section is who may eat what parts of the offerings and where. Generally only the priests could eat the sacrifices, but the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 7:11-36

The law of the peace (fellowship) offering for the priests 7:11-36This is the only offering that ordinary Israelites could eat, but the priests also ate a part. This pericope clarifies who could eat what and when. For many Israelites eating the peace offering was probably the main, and perhaps the only, time they ate meat. Consequently this pericope also contains general regulations governing the consumption of meat (Leviticus 7:22-27)."The thanksgiving . . . gift [Leviticus 7:12] represented... read more

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
