LEVITICUS CHAPTER 6 Trespass-offerings for sins of deceit, or violence and perjury; restoration must be made, and a ram offered, LEVITICUS 6:1.

This sin, though directly committed against man only, is here emphatically said to be done _against the Lord_; not only in general, for so every sin against man is also against the Lord, whose image in man is thereby injured, and whose law, which obligeth us to love, and fidelity, and justice to oth...

SWEARETH FALSELY; his oath being required, seeing there was no other way of discovery left.... [ Continue Reading ]
BECAUSE HE HATH SINNED, AND IS GUILTY. This guilt of his being manifested, either by his refusing to swear when called to it, as in some of the cases alleged; or by his voluntary confession upon remorse, whereby he reapeth this benefit, that he only restores the principal with the addition of a fift...

Hitherto he hath prescribed the sacrifices themselves, now he comes to the manner of them. _The law of the burnt-offering_, to wit, of the daily one, of which EXODUS 29:38 NUMBERS 28:3, as the following words show. BECAUSE OF THE BURNING UPON THE ALTAR ALL NIGHT UNTO THE MORNING: the meaning is, the... [ Continue Reading ]
HIS LINEN GARMENT, i.e. his linen coat, of which see EXODUS 28:39,40. The ashes are said to be consumed improperly, When the wood is consumed into ashes; as meal is said to be ground, ISAIAH 47:2, when the corn is ground into meal; and the naked to be stripped of their clothing, JOB 22:6, when by be...

PUT ON OTHER GARMENTS, because this was no sacred, but a common work. UNTO A CLEAN PLACE, where no dung or filth was laid. See LEVITICUS 4:12, and compare LEVITICUS 14:40,41.... [ Continue Reading ]
The fire coming down from heaven, LEVITICUS 9:24, was to be perpetually preserved, and not suffered to go out, partly that there might be no occasion nor temptation to offer strange fire, nor to mingle their inventions with God's appointments; and partly to teach them whence they were to expect the...

THE LAW OF THE MEAT-OFFERING, to wit, of that which was offered alone, and that by any of the people, not by the priest, for then it must have been all burnt. This law, delivered LE 2, is here repeated for the sake of some additions here made to it; as it is a common practice of law-makers, when the... [ Continue Reading ]

The males only might eat these, because they were most holy things; whereas the daughters of Aaron might eat other holy things, NUMBERS 18:11. WITH UNLEAVENED BREAD; or rather, _unleavened_, for with is not in the Hebrew, and it disturbs the sense; for since the meat-offering itself was fine flour,... [ Continue Reading ]
IT SHALL NOT BE BAKEN WITH LEAVEN; that part which remains to the priest; for the part here offered to God seems not to have been baked at all.... [ Continue Reading ]
It may be understood either, 1. Of persons, that none should touch or eat them but consecrated persons, to wit, priests. Or this may be an additional caution, that they who eat them should be not only priests, or their male children, but also HOLY, i.e. having no uncleanness upon them, for in that...

WHEN HE IS ANOINTED; when any of them are anointed for high priest; for he only of all the priests was to be anointed in future ages. This law of his consecration was delivered before, EXODUS 29:2,24,25, and is here repeated because of some additions made to it. A meat-offering perpetual, to wit, wh... [ Continue Reading ]

No part of it shall be eaten by the priest, as it was when the offering was for the people. The reason of the difference is, partly, because when he offered it for the people, he was to have some recompence for his pains, which he could not expect when he offered it for himself; partly, to signify t...

FOR SIN; for the sins of the rulers, or of the people, or any of them, but not for the sins of the priests; for then its blood was brought into the tabernacle, and therefore it might not be eaten.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHATSOEVER SHALL TOUCH THE FLESH; of which SEE POOLE ON "LEVITICUS 6:18". UPON ANY GARMENT; upon the priest's garment; for it was he only that sprinkled it, and in so doing he might easily sprinkle his garments. THOU SHALT WASH THAT WHEREON IT WAS SPRINKLED IN THE HOLY PLACE; partly out of reverence... [ Continue Reading ]
THE EARTHEN VESSEL SHALL BE BROKEN, because being full of pores, the liquor in which it was sodden might easily sink into it, whereby it was ceremonially holy, and therefore was broken, lest afterwards it should be abused to profane or common uses. IT SHALL BE BOTH SCOURED, and not broken, as being... [ Continue Reading ]
