Leviticus 6:29

_ALL THE MALES AMONG THE PRIESTS SHALL EAT THEREOF: IT IS MOST HOLY._ All the males among the priests shall eat thereof - (see the note at Leviticus 6:18.) The whole of the carcass was not given to the priests; for the blood, the fat, and the inward being, as in the peace offerings, reserved as the Lord's portion, were burnt on the altar; But the rest of the victim, which in peace offerings was given to the offerer, was in the sin offering bestowed on the officiating priest, who was ordained by strict injunctions to eat it with Yahweh in the holy place. (See this rule fully illustrated, Magee 'On the Atonement,' note 42.) To the question, By what association of ideas is the eating of the flesh of the sin offering connected with the official character of the priest? it is somewhat difficult to make a reply. The relation of the eating to the priestly efficacy of the

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...

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;...

AND ALL THE MALES AMONG THE PRIESTS SHALL EAT THEREOF,.... As of the meat offerings, Leviticus 6:18 and this shows that not the single priest that offered only ate of it, Leviticus 6:26 but his male children, and not those only, but those of other priests then upon duty, or in the court: IT [IS] MOST HOLY; Leviticus 6:25....

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

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...

1-7. These vv. should be reckoned as part of Leviticus 5. The Hebrew chapter begins at Leviticus 6:8. Our chapter and verse divisions are a late invention, dating from the 13th and 14th centuries....

ALL THE MALES AMONG THE PRIESTS. — Not only did the officiating priest, whose perquisite the flesh of the sin offering became, and his male children, partake of it, but he could invite any other priests and their sons to the meal. It is to this practice that the apostle refers when he says, “We have an altar whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle” (Hebrews 13:10)....
