Leviticus 4:5-6

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-12

The laws contained in the first three chapters seem to have been delivered to Moses at one time. Here begin the statutes of another session, another day. From the throne of glory between the cherubim God delivered these orders. And he enters now upon a subject more strictly new than those before. Burnt-offerings, meat-offerings, and peace-offerings, it should seem, had been offered before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai; those sacrifices the patriarchs had not been altogether... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:5

And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood ,.... Let out and received into a basin; this he did himself, and not another, for he offered for himself, and the blood was to make atonement for him: and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation ; out of the court where the bullock was slain, into the holy place, where were the vail that divided between the holy of holies, and the altar of sweet incense, after mentioned. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:6

And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood ,.... The finger of his right hand, as Gersom observes, and so Maimonides F18 Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 5. sect. 7. Bartenora in Misn. Menachot, c. 3. sect. 4. ; for blood was always taken and sprinkled with the right hand, if done with the left it was wrong, according to the Jewish canons F19 Misn. Zebachim, c. 2. sect. 1. & Bartenora in ib. and though it is only said the priest, and not that is anointed, as before, yet it seems... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:6

Seven times - See Clarke's note on Exodus 29:30 . The blood of this sacrifice was applied in three different ways: The priest put his finger in it, and sprinkled it seven times before the veil, Leviticus 4:6 . He put some of it on the horns of the altar of incense. 3. He poured the remaining part at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offerings, Leviticus 4:7 . read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:5

Verse 5 5.And the priest that is anointed shall take. It is well known that what is here prescribed as to the sprinkling of blood, and its pouring out, as well as to the burning of the fat and the kidneys, is the same as in the other sacrifices; and the comparison in the 10th verse sufficiently proves that, the ordinary forms were observed in other particulars. But inasmuch as it might seem absurd that the priest, who was himself guilty, should come before God to perform the office of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-9

Unintentional transgression. God is the source of authority and law. From him instructions emanate. His words are to be communicated to the people. Like unto Moses, ministers and teachers receive truth not to secrete it in their own breasts, but to impart it for the guidance of those under their charge. "The Lord spake,… saying, Speak unto the children of Israel." May we listen carefully, lest the utterances of the "still small voice" should be misheard, and the counsels intended for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-12

The sin offering viewed as typical of the Sacrifice of Calvary. This subject wilt be best considered by citing sonic of the more notable references to it contained in the Scriptures of the New Testament. I. IT IS ENVINCED FROM , Romans 8:3 : "For what the Law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin," i.e; by a sin offering (the Greek term here used is that by which the LXX . commonly... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-35

The sin offering signifies and ceremonially effects propitiation and expiation. Its characteristic feature, therefore, is the presentation of the blood of the victim, which in this sacrifice alone (when it was offered for the high priest or the whole congregation) was carried into the tabernacle and solemnly sprinkled before the vail which covered God's presence. I. WHEN IT WAS TO BE OFFERED . On certain solemn public occasions, and whenever the conscience of an individual... read more

Atonement for the penitent, as illustrated in the sin offering. Le Leviticus 5:1-13 ; cf. Psalms 19:12 ; Galatians 6:1 ; 1 Timothy 1:13 , etc. The offerings already considered, viz. the burnt offering, the meat offering, and the peace offering, have respectively emphasized the ideas of personal consecration, consecrated life-work, and fellowship. Moreover, they are to be regarded as voluntary offerings, depending upon the impulse of the heart for their celebration. Special... read more
