Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 22:17-33

Here are four laws concerning sacrifices:? I. Whatever was offered in sacrifice to God should be without blemish, otherwise it should not be accepted. This had often been mentioned in the particular institutions of the several sorts of offerings. Now here they are told what was to be accounted a blemish which rendered a beast unfit for sacrifice: if it was blind, or lame, had a wen, or the mange (Lev. 22:22),?if it was bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut (Lev. 22:24), that is, as the Jewish... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:29

And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord ,.... Which was a sort of peace offering, distinct from freewill offerings and vows before spoken of: offer it at your own will ; just what they pleased, whether a bullock, a sheep, or a goat, and whether a male or female; these were left to their own option, or for acceptation to you, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi; that is, it was right in them, and they ought to be careful to offer it in such manner, that it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:30

On the same day it shall be eaten up ,.... Which is the law concerning it; See Gill on Leviticus 7:15 , ye shall leave none of it till the morning ; of another day, as the Vulgate Latin version adds, and much less the fat of them, and the most holy things, as Ben Gersom observes, the one being to be burnt upon the altar, the other to be eaten by the priests I am the Lord ; who has made this law, and expect it will be observed. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:31

Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them ,.... Both priests and people, even all the commandments delivered at this time, as well as all others; these they were to observe and take notice of, and keep them in memory, and put them in practice: I am the Lord ; See Gill on Leviticus 22:30 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:32

Neither shall ye profane my holy name ,.... By transgressing the laws of God, particularly by offering blemished sacrifices, or before the proper tithe; or by slaying the dam and its young on one day; for, as Aben Ezra observes, this is said to the sons of Aaron: but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel ; by his priests among them, and by themselves, conforming to all the precepts, and particularly the last mentioned, which respects them, and their eating up the peace... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:33

That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God ,.... Whereby he showed himself to be their covenant God and Father, who had a kind and gracious regard unto them, and which laid them under obligation to fear, serve, and worship him as their God: I am the Lord ; that hath sovereign right unto them, and claim upon them, and therefore they ought to be subject to his will, and observe his laws ordinances. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 22:32

Neither shall ye profane my holy name - God's name is profaned or rendered common when we treat his commands as we often do those of our fellows, when they do not appear to have self-interest to recommend them. He therefore profanes God's holy name who does not both implicitly believe and conscientiously obey all his words and all his precepts. I will be hallowed among the children of Israel - The words children of Israel, ישראל בני beney Yishrael , which so frequently occur, should... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 22:33

Brought you out of the land of Egypt - By such a series of miraculous interferences, to be your God - to save you from all idolatry, false and superstitious worship, teach you the right way, lead and support you in it, and preserve you to my eternal kingdom and glory. God, infinite in his own perfections, has no need of his creatures; but they need him; and, as a source of endless felicity, he opens himself to all his intelligent offspring. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 22:32

Verse 32 32.Neither shall ye profane. In forbidding the profanation of His name, He confirms in other words the foregoing sentiment; guarding by them His worship from all corruptions, that it may be maintained in purity and integrity. The same, too, is the object of the clause in apposition, which immediately follows; for they hallow God’s name who turn not away from its rightful and sincere worship. Let this be carefully observed, that whatever fancies men devise, are so many profanations of... read more
