| Geneva Study Bible Likewise this is the law of the {a} trespass offering: it is most holy. (a) Which is for the smaller sins, and such as are committed by ignorance. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary CHAPTER 7 Le 7:1-27. The Law of the Trespass Offering. 1. Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering-This chapter is a continuation of the laws that were to regulate the duty of the priests respecting the trespass offerings. The same regulations obtained in this case as in the burnt offerings-part was to be consumed on the altar, while the other part was a perquisite of the priests-some fell exclusively to the officiating minister, and was the fee for his services; others were the common share of all the priestly order, who lived upon them as their provision, and whose meetings at a common table would tend to promote brotherly harmony and friendship. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 7:1-10 In the sin-offering and the trespass-offering, the sacrifice was divided between the altar and the priest; the offerer had no share, as he had in the peace-offerings. The former expressed repentance and sorrow for sin, therefore it was more proper to fast than feast; the peace-offerings denoted communion with a reconciled God in Christ, the joy and gratitude of a pardoned sinner, and the privileges of a true believer. |
