| Barnes' Notes on the Bible See Leviticus 5:14 note. In Leviticus 7:2 "sprinkle" should rather be cast Leviticus 1:5. All the details regarding the parts put on the altar are repeated for each kind of sacrifice, because the matter was one of paramount importance. Clarke's Commentary on the BibleTrespass-offering - See end of the chapter at Leviticus 7:38 (note). Gill's Exposition of the Entire BibleLikewise this is the law of the trespass offering,.... Or the various rites and rules to be observed at the offering of it: the persons for whom it was to be made are described in the two preceding chapters, Leviticus 5:1 both such that sinned through ignorance, and knowingly, and here the place and parts of the offering, and how to be disposed of, are declared: it is most holy; wholly devoted for sacred use, either to the Lord, or to his priests; there were some things the Jews call light holy things, and others most holy in the highest degree, of this sort was the trespass offering. Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old TestamentThe Law of the Trespass-Offering embraces first of all the regulations as to the ceremonial connected with the presentation. Geneva Study BibleLikewise 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 CommentaryCHAPTER 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 Commentary7:1-10 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. |
