Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:1-7

This is the latter part of the law of the trespass-offering: the former part, which concerned trespasses about holy things, we had in the close of the foregoing chapter; this concerns trespasses in common things. Observe here, I. The trespass supposed, Lev. 6:2, 3. Though all the instances relate to our neighbour, yet it is called a trespass against the Lord, because, though the injury be done immediately to our neighbour, yet an affront is thereby given to his Maker and our Master. He that... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:8-13

Hitherto we have had the instructions which Moses was directed to give to the people concerning the sacrifices; but here begin the instructions he was to give to the priests; he must command Aaron and his sons, Lev. 6:9. The priests were rulers in the house of God, but these rulers must be ruled; and those that had the command of others must themselves be commanded. Let ministers remember that not only commissions, but commands, were given to Aaron and his sons, who must be in subjection to... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:14-23

The meat-offering was either that which was offered by the people or that by the priests at their consecration. Now, I. As to the common meat-offering, 1. Only a handful of it was to be burnt upon the altar; all the rest was allowed to the priests for their food. The law of the burnt-offerings was such as imposed upon the priests a great deal of care and work, but allowed them little profit; for the flesh was wholly burnt, and the priests had nothing but the skin. But to make them amends the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 6:24-30

We have here so much of the law of the sin-offering as did peculiarly concern the priests that offered it. As, 1. That it must be killed in the place where the burnt-offering was killed (Lev. 6:25), that is, on the north side of the altar (Lev. 1:11), which, some think typified the crucifying of Christ on mount Calvary, which was on the north side of Jerusalem. 2. That the priest who offered it for the sinner was (with his sons, or other priests, Lev. 6:29) to eat the flesh of it, after the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:2

If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord ,.... All sin is against the Lord, contrary to his nature and will, and a transgression of his law; but some sins are more apparently so than others, and against which he expresses greater indignation and abhorrence, being attended also with very aggravating circumstances, as these that follow; which are such as are not only contrary to the will of God, but to the good of society, and tend to the subversion of it, of which he is the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 6:3

Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it ,.... Who having found anything lost, at once concludes it his own, and converts it to his own use, never inquiring after the proprietor of it, or taking any method to get knowledge of him, and restore it to him; but so far from that, being suspected of finding it, and charged with it denies it: Maimonides F11 Moreh Nevochim, par. 3. c. 40. gives a reason why a lost thing should be restored, not only because so to do is a... read more

Then it shall be, because he hath sinned and is guilty ,.... Owns his guilt through remorse of conscience, and makes a confession of it; or otherwise, upon conviction, without such confession he was to pay double, see Exodus 22:7 whereas, in this case it is only ordered: that he shall restore that which he took violently away : whether money, goods, or cattle: or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten ; by outwitting him, by extortion, by false accusation, or detention of... read more

Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely ,.... In all and each of the above cases, in which he had committed a trespass and denied it, and to the denial adds a false oath, and yet after all acknowledges it: he shall even restore it in the principal ; whatsoever he has embezzled, or cheated another of, or detained from the right owner, the whole of that was to be restored: and shall add the fifth part more thereto ; to the principal, see Leviticus 5:16 but Maimonides F12 In... read more

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord ,.... That is, to the tabernacle of the Lord, to the altar of the Lord in it, and to his priest ministering therein, as it follows: a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering unto the priest ; the same offering that was ordered for a trespass through ignorance, Leviticus 5:16 typical of the sacrifice of Christ offered up both for sins of ignorance and wilful transgressions, for his... read more
