Leviticus 7:6-10, Leviticus 7:31, Leviticus 7:34 NIV

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 7:6

Every male among the priests shall eat thereof ,.... Of the flesh of it, after the fat was taken off and burnt, the rest belonged to the priests and their sons, and to them only, not to their wives and daughters: it shall be eaten in the holy place ; in the court of the tabernacle, in some apartment in it, for that purpose, as afterwards in the temple; it was not to be carried home to their houses, for all in the family to partake of, only the priests and their sons were to eat of it: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 7:7

As the sin offering is , so is the trespass offering, there is one law for them ,.... The same as in Leviticus 6:27 , the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it ; who by offering it made atonement for the trespass of the person that brings it, as typical of the atonement by the sacrifice of Christ; he was to have all but what was burnt, for himself and his sons; though no doubt but other priests then on duty in the court ate with him. 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

And all the meat offering that is baked in the oven ,.... Or "every meat offering" F2 כל מנחה "omne munus", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, &c.; , whether dressed in one way or another, and which was done in one or other of these three ways, of which this was one, baked in an oven heated for that purpose: and all that is dressed in the frying pan ; such as we call pancakes: and in the pan ; which was different from the frying pan; it seems to be... read more

And every meat offering mingled with oil, and dry ,.... Rather it should be rendered "or dry" F3 וחרבה "vel aridum", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. ; that is, as Jarchi interprets it, that has no oil in it; the meat offering in common, let it be dressed in what way soever, was mingled with oil; but in the poor man's offering for sin, which was as a meat offering, no oil was to be put upon it, Leviticus 5:11 but whether the offering was with or without oil, moist or dry, it ... read more

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

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 7:6

Verse 6 In these passages Moses confirms what we have seen before as to the rights of the priests, and also adds an exception to which he had not yet referred. In general, therefore, he claims for the priests whatever remained of the holier victims; and distinguishes them by this prerogative from the other Levites; from whence we gather how free from all self-seeking Moses was, when by God’s command he deprives his own sons not only of the dignity which was conferred on his nephews, but also of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 7:1-6

Further ritual of the trespass offering (see note on Le Leviticus 5:14 ). It is to be noted that the blood of the trespass offering is not to be placed on the horns of the altar, as was the rule in the ordinary sin offering, but cast against the inner side of the altar, as in the burnt offering and peace offering. The rump in Leviticus 7:3 should be translated tail, as in Leviticus 3:9 . read more
