Leviticus 27:34 NLT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 27:26-34

Here is, I. A caution given that no man should make such a jest of sanctifying things to the Lord as to sanctify any firstling to him, for that was his already by the law, Lev. 27:26. Though the matter of a general vow be that which we were before obliged to, as of our sacramental covenant, yet a singular vow should be of that which we were not, in such circumstances and proportions, antecedently bound to. The law concerning the firstlings of unclean beasts (Lev. 27:27) is the same with that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 27:34

These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses ,.... Meaning either what are contained in this chapter, or rather in the whole book, which he delivered to Moses: for the children of Israel ; to be observed by them, priests and people: and these were given to him in Mount Sinai ; either when upon it, or rather when near it, in the wilderness of it, after the tabernacle was set up, and the Lord spake to him out of that; see Leviticus 1:1 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:34

These are the commandments - This conclusion is very similar to that at the end of the preceding chapter. I have already supposed that this chapter should have followed the 25th, and that the 26th originally terminated the book. Mr. Ainsworth, the whole of whose writings are animated with the spirit of piety, concludes this book with the following excellent remarks: - "The tithes in Israel being thus sanctified by the commandment of God to his honor, the maintenance of his ministers, and... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 27:34

Verse 34 Leviticus 27:34.These are the commandments. This first passage commends the Law, which was promulgated and written on the two tables, together with the declarations which were annexed to it, to explain more fully the mind of God. For God did not only propound the Decalogue, but also interpreted what He briefly summed up therein. Moreover, Moses endeavors to gain their belief of this doctrine, first, from its authority, because it was delivered by God; and secondly, because he had not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

A man might vow to the service of God whatever he had a right over, that is, himself, his wife, his children, his slaves, his beasts, his houses, his fields. In case persons were vowed, the rule was that they should be redeemed at a certain price, though occasionally the redemption was not made. Vowing a person to God thus, was, as a rule, no more than vowing so much money to the use of the sanctuary as was fixed as the price of the redemption of the person vowed. Yet there is a great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

Vows are not instituted by the Mosaic legislation; they were already in existence as a habit of the Hebrew people, and they are only regulated by Moses. The principle on the subject of vows is that no one was bound to make a vow, but that when a vow was made, it must be observed by the payment of the thing vowed or its recognized commutation. Thus Deuteronomy 23:21 , "When thou shalt vow a vow unto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

On keeping vows. cf. Ecclesiastes 5:4 , Ecclesiastes 5:5 ; Genesis 28:20-22 ; Genesis 35:1-7 . We have in this apparent appendix to the book an interesting chapter about keeping vows. Religious enthusiasm may very properly express itself in the dedication either of one's self, or a relative in whose destiny we have a voice, or a beast, or a house, or finally a field. Such a sense of special obligation may be laid upon us that we feel constrained to dedicate either a person, an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:1-34

Vows and dues. I. We find here a representation of the union of righteousness and grace in the kingdom of God. The sacredness of vows and dues; but the estimation, by the priest, according to the ability of him that made the vow. The Law makes its claim, but God provides against its rigour. II. Comparison of the Law of God as given to his ancient people with the imperfect and cruel laws of merely human origin. Especially as to human sacrifices. The only human life which could be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:26-34

Devoted things. The earlier part of this chapter is mainly concerned with things sanctified to God by vows. I. DEVOTED THINGS DIFFER FROM THINGS SANCTIFIED . 1 . In that they may not be redeemed. 2 . Persons when devoted were doomed to die. II. THE LAW CONCERNING TITHES . 1 . These are now formally required. 2 . Things marked as tithes must not be exchanged. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 27:34

The final verse of the previous chapter is repeated after the further legislation on vows and on their commutation has been added, to show that it too makes part of the Sinaitic code. read more
