Leviticus 6:27

_WHATSOEVER SHALL TOUCH THE FLESH THEREOF SHALL BE HOLY: AND WHEN THERE IS SPRINKLED OF THE BLOOD THEREOF UPON ANY GARMENT, THOU SHALT WASH THAT WHEREON IT WAS SPRINKLED IN THE HOLY PLACE._ Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy. It was unlawful for any one to touch the flesh of the sin offering except only the consecrated priest; and if the garment of any one was accidentally stained with the spurting of the blood, the spot had to be washed out within the precincts of the holy place. The obvious meaning of the statement is, that the flesh was so holy, only the hand of a consecrated priest might touch it, and the blood was so holy that a drop of it was not allowed to be borne without the sanctuary (Bahr). The flesh on all occasions was boiled or sodden, with the exception of the paschal lamb, which was roasted; and if an earthen vessel had been used, it being porous, and...

24-30 The blood of the sin-offering was to be washed out of the clothes on which it should happen to be sprinkled, which signified the regard we ought to have to the blood of Christ, not counting it a common thing. The vessel in which the flesh of the sin-offering was boiled must be broken, if it were an earthen one; but if a brazen one, well washed. This showed that the defilement was not wholly taken away by the offering; but the blood of Christ thoroughly cleanses from all sin. All these rules set forth the polluting nature of sin, and the removal of guilt from the sinner to the sacrifice. Behold and wonder at Christ's love, in that he was content to be made a sin-offering for us, and so to procure our pardon for continual sins and failings. He that knew no sin was made sin (that is, a sin-offering) for us, 2 Corinthians 5:21. Hence we have pardon, and not only pardon, but power also...

Verse Leviticus 6:27. _WHATSOEVER SHALL TOUCH THE FLESH THEREOF SHALL BE_ _HOLY_] The following note of Mr. Ainsworth is not less judicious than it is pious:- "All this rite was peculiar to the sin-offering, (whether it were that which was to be eaten, or that which was to be burnt,) above all the other most holy things. As the sin-offering in special sort figured Christ, who was made sin for us, (2 Corinthians 5:21), so this ordinance for all that touched the flesh of the sin-offering to be holy, the garments sprinkled with the blood to be washed, the vessels wherein the flesh was boiled to be broken, or scoured and rinsed-taught a holy use of this mystery of our redemption, whereof they that are made partakers ought to be washed, cleansed, and sanc

EXPOSITION The following section (Leviticus 6:8 - Leviticus 7:38) is a supplement to chapter 1-6:7, containing the regulations addressed to the priests relating to the ritual of the several sacrifices. Leviticus 6:8-3 of Leviticus 6:1 contain the further ritual of the burnt sacrifice; Leviticus 6:14-3, that of the meat offering; Leviticus 6:24-3, that of the sin offerings;...

WHATSOEVER SHALL TOUCH THE FLESH THEREOF SHALL BE HOLY,.... None but holy persons, such as were devoted to holy services, even the priests and their sons, might touch and eat of the flesh of the sin offering: all that did so were sacred persons; and even what were used in eating it, dishes and knives, were to be put to no other use, not to any common service, or for anything but holy things; which was done to keep up a veneration for the sacrifices, and especially for the great sacrifice they typified, the sacrifice of Christ, whose flesh is meat indeed; and whoever eats of that by faith dwells in Christ, and Christ dwells in him, John 6:55: AND WHEN THERE IS SPRINKLED OF THE BLOOD THEREOF UPON ANY GARMENT; the garment of the priest that slays and offers it: THOU SHALT WASH THAT WHEREON IT WAS SPRINKLED IN THE HOLY PLACE; it was not to be carried out of the t

LEVITICUS 6:8 TO LEVITICUS 7:38. SPECIAL MANUAL FOR PRIESTS, given to Aaron and his sons (Leviticus 6:9; Leviticus 6:14; Leviticus 6:25, etc.; contrast Leviticus 4:2, etc.). The peace offering is here placed last. It may be noted that two sections (Leviticus 7:7 and Leviticus 7:22) seem to b

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 who may or may not be identical with the compiler of P, in order to supplement Leviticus 1:1 to Leviticus 6:7. In the main they are concerned with _priestly_duties an

AND WHEN THERE IS SPRINKLED OF THE BLOOD THEREOF, &C.— The moral and typical reasons of all these ablutions and purifications are obvious. Bishop Patrick observes, that, after the temple was built, there was an apartment called _the chamber of the spring;_ out of which water was drawn for the use of the sanctuary; and _here,_ it is probable, these garments, &c. were washed....

THE SIN OFFERING 6:24-30 TEXT 6:24-30 24 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 25 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt-offering is killed shall the sin-offering be killed before Jehovah: it is most holy. 26 The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in a holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting. 27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy; and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in a holy place. 28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is boiled shall be broken; and if it be boiled in a brazen vessel, it shall be scoured, and rinsed in water. 29 Every male among the priests shall eat thereof; it is most holy. 30 And no sin-offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tent of meeting...
