Leviticus 7:8

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 7:8

And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering ,.... In which the flesh was wholly burnt, and nothing of it remained to requite the priest for his trouble, as in other offerings: even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering, which he hath offered ; in some cases the skin itself was burnt, and then he could have nothing, see Leviticus 4:11 but in others the skin was reserved for the priest. There seems to be an emphasis upon the phrase "to himself", and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:8

The priest shall have to himself the skin - Bishop Patrick supposes that this right of the priest to the skin commenced with the offering of Adam, "for it is probable," says he, "that Adam himself offered the first sacrifice, and had the skin given him by God to make garments for him and his wife; in conformity to which the priests ever after had the skin of the whole burnt-offerings for their portion, which was a custom among the Gentiles as well as the Jews, who gave the skins of their... 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

contain a general precept or note as to the priests' portion in the sin offering, trespass offering, burnt offering, and meat offering. The officiating priest was to have the flesh of the trespass offering and of the sin offering (except the fat burnt on the altar), and the skin of the burnt offering and the cooked meat offerings (except the memorial burnt on the altar), while the meat offerings of flour and of parched grains, which could be kept longer, were to be the property of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 7:8

The skin of the burnt offering - It is most likely that the skins of the sin-offering and the trespass-offering also fell to the lot of the officiating priest. read more
