Leviticus 17:10

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 17:10

(10) And whatsoever man.—Better, and what man soever. (See Leviticus 17:8.)Eateth any manner of blood.—This prohibition, which has already been mentioned twice in Leviticus, is in both instances joined to the prohibition of fat. (See Leviticus 3:17; Leviticus 7:26-27.) Owing to its great importance, however, the law is enacted here separately, where it naturally follows the order that the blood of all animals sacrificed in the sanctuary is to be offered to the Lord upon the altar. According to... read more

The Blood of Christ (for Good Friday and Easter) Leviticus 17:11 The thoughts of Easter and of Good Friday must keep close together. They are, of course, at first sight, poles apart. And yet they are two sides of one great event. Consider this by help which God Himself has given us in the Old Testament. The precious Blood of Christ, that certainly is a Good Friday thought, but yet that Blood is at the centre of our Easter feast. It is the power of eternal lite. In it are washed the robes of... read more

HOLINESS IN EATINGLeviticus 17:1-16WITH this chapter begins another subdivision of the law. Hitherto we have had before us only sacrificial worship and matters of merely ceremonial law. The law of holy living contained in the following chapters (17-22), on the other hand, has to do for the most part with matters rather ethical than ceremonial, and consists chiefly of precepts designed to regulate morally the ordinary engagements and relationships of everyday life. The fundamental thought of the... read more

THE PROHIBITION OF FAT AND BLOODLeviticus 3:16-17; Leviticus 7:22-27; Leviticus 17:10-16And the priest shall burn them upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a sweet savour: all the fat is the Lord’s. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that ye shall eat neither fat nor blood. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saving, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat. And the fat of that... read more

2. The Testimony Concerning the Blood CHAPTER 17 1. Concerning slain animals (Leviticus 17:1-9 ) 2. Concerning the eating of blood (Leviticus 17:10-16 ) This chapter needs little comment. Everything in this chapter speaks of the sanctity of the blood, what great value God, to whom life belongs, places upon the blood and with what jealous care He watches over it. The center of all is verse 11: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an... read more

17:10 And whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set {g} my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.(g) I will declare my wrath by taking vengeance on him as in Leviticus 20:3. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 17:1-16

GOD'S RIGHTS WHEN AN ANIMAL WAS KILLED (vv. 1-16) This chapter is an appendix to chapter 16, though it does not deal with the sin offering. Rather, the Lord now strongly insists that any Israelite who would slaughter an ox or a lamb or a goat must bring it to the door of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the Lord. Verse 5 adds that these were to be offered as peace offerings to the Lord. The offerer received most of the peace offering as food, but first the fat, the two... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 17:1-16

ABOMINATIONS UNTO THE LORD The underlying thought of this section is in the words of Leviticus 18:1-5 . Israel is redeemed and separated unto God, therefore, she is to live consistently with that fact in all her ways. She is not to do after the heathen peoples round about her. THE QUESTION OF EATING (Leviticus 17:0 ) It looks as though the opening injunction of this chapter touched once more upon the ceremonial and recurred to a matter considered under the offerings. But in that case the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 17:10-12

This precept was given as early as in the days of Noah. So leading a doctrine was the atonement, that even then it was held forth in these distant allusions. See Genesis 9:4-5 ; Leviticus 3:17 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 17:10

Eat blood. To eat blood, was forbidden in the law; partly because God reserved it to himself to be offered in sacrifices on the altar, as to the Lord of life and death; and as a figure of the blood of Christ; and partly to give men a horror of shedding blood, Genesis ix. 4, 5, 6. (Challoner) --- Some barbarians feast on human blood. The Massagetes drunk the blood of horses, and the Gelonians of Pontus mixed it with milk. (Georg. iii. 463.) If the Hebrews did any such thing, and it became... read more
