Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 7:38 [Hebrews 6:1-20; Hebrews 6:7]. The Second Part of the Law of Offerings See the analysis of this portion in Appendix I (_a_) where are given reasons for concluding that this group of laws is not by the same hand as the first, and that they have been collected by one w...

(5) _The Guilt-Offering. Priestly portions of other offerings_(Leviticus 7:1-10) The similarity between the Guilt-Offering and the Sin-Offering is very close (see Leviticus 7:7). Both are -most holy" and to be killed in the same place (Leviticus 6:25, cp. Leviticus 7:1-2). The parts to be burned on... [ Continue Reading ]

_there is one law for them_ It is doubtful whether these words, and those immediately preceding them, can be taken as _enjoining_the _sěmîkah_or laying on of hands (see on Leviticus 1:4). But according to tradition, that ceremony was applied in the case of Guilt-Offerings, and this passage was quote... [ Continue Reading ]
The rule that the skin of the Burnt-Offering belongs to the priest who offers it is extended in the Mishna to the skins of the -most holy," i.e. the Sin- and Guilt-Offerings. Perhaps this is implied in Leviticus 7:7. We gather from _Zebaḥim_103 _b_(Tal. Bab.) that the skin of the Peace-Offering belo... [ Continue Reading ]
The three methods of preparing the Meal-Offering specified in this verse are also enumerated in Leviticus 2:4-7 (see notes there).

_which one shall offer_ i.e. anyone who desires to bring this kind of offering; where there is no emphasis on the subject, the passive is generally employed in English, - _which may be offered_."

If the Peace-Offering be for thanksgiving, three kinds of cakes are to be brought with it; the difference between the first and third is not clearly indicated.

_With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his oblation_ The cakes described in Leviticus 7:12 form the oblation; besides these he is to bring leavened cakes, which are not intended for the altar (see Leviticus 2:11) but are similar in character to the offering mentioned in Leviticus 2:12. Accordi... [ Continue Reading ]
_one out of each oblation_ According to the practice in the second temple, ten of each of the three kinds of unleavened cakes and ten leavened cakes were brought. The priest took one out of each ten, and the remainder belonged to the bringer of the sacrifice, to be eaten along with his share of the... [ Continue Reading ]
Limits of time within which the Peace-Offerings must be consumed. When they are for thanksgiving, the whole of the flesh must be eaten on the day they are offered; before midnight is the traditional rule. A similar condition is prescribed in Exodus 23:18, which is taken by some as referring to the f... [ Continue Reading ]
_it shall be an abomination_ Heb. _piggûl_, a word which occurs here and in Leviticus 19:7 of the flesh of the Peace-Offering which is eaten on the third day, and elsewhere only in Isaiah 65:4, _broth of abominable things_(Heb. _piggûlim_); Ezekiel 4:14, _abominable flesh_(Heb. flesh of _Piggûl_). I... [ Continue Reading ]

_abomination_ DETESTATION, Heb. _shéḳeẓ_: the word is used in ch.

See notes there. Some prefer t... [ Continue Reading ]
_Fat and Blood prohibited_(22 27) The Peace-Offering being the only sacrifice which was partly consumed by the offerer, any rule as to portions of the animal that were not to be eaten would appropriately be added to the regulations concerning this sacrifice. Accordingly, in ch. 3, which treats of t... [ Continue Reading ]
_Priestly Portions of the Peace-Offering_(28 34) 29. _his oblation_ The word does not refer to the whole sacrifice as in other places, but to that portion which was offered by fire, i.e. the fat portions specially reserved for the Lord as (Leviticus 7:30) -the offerings of the Lord made by fire" (de...

_wave offering_ The offering was waved towards the altar and back, apparently to express symbolically that it was first given to God and then restored by Him to the priest for his use. See Appendix IV, pp. 183 ff.... [ Continue Reading ]
_the right thigh_ not -shoulder" as mg. The plural -ye" indicates the composite character of this section.

_anointing-portion_ R.V. mg. _portion_. The Heb. root which means to anoint is found in Aramaic and Assyrian in the sense to measure.

These verses seem at first sight to form a general conclusion to chs. 1 7, but as the order in which the sacrifices are mentioned is closely connected with that in Leviticus 6:8 to Leviticus 8:34, it must be regarded as a conclusion to that section 1 [50]. The words - _and of the consecration_" prob... [ Continue Reading ]
