Leviticus 7:1

_LIKEWISE THIS IS THE LAW OF THE TRESPASS OFFERING: IT IS MOST HOLY._ 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 preliminary regulations obtained in this case as in the burnt offerings, (see the note at Leviticus 1:1.) The fatty parts were to be consumed on the altar, as in the sin and the peace offerings (see the note at Leviticus 3:9; Leviticus 4:8), while the flesh was a perquisite of the priests (Leviticus 6:26). Some portions fell exclusively to the officiating minister, and we

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....

CHAPTER VII _The law of the trespass-offering, and the priest's portion in_ _it_, 1-7. _As also in the sin-offerings and meat-offerings_, 8-10. _The law of the sacrifice of peace-offering_, 11, _whether it was a_ thanksgiving_-offering_, 12-15; _or a_ VOW _or_ voluntary _offering_, 16-18. _Concerning the flesh that touched any unclean thing_, 19, 20, _and the person who touched any thing unclean_, 21. _Laws concerning eating of_ fat, 22-25, _and concerning eating of_ blood, 26, 27....

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....

EXPOSITION CONTINUATION OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS ADDRESSED TO THE PRIESTS, RESPECTING THE RITUAL OF THE SACRIFICES. This chapter treats of the ritual of the trespass offering and the peace offerings, as the last chapter treated of that of the burnt offering, the meat offering, and the sin offering. The LXX. version attaches the first ten verses of this chapter to Leviticus 6:1, beginning Leviticus 7:1 with our Leviticus 7:11

LIKEWISE 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 Chapter s, 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....

6. THE LAWS OF THE OFFERINGS Chapter S 6:8-7:38 _ 1. The law of the burnt offering (Leviticus 6:8)_ 2. The law of the meal offering (Leviticus 6:14) 3. The offering of the high priest (Leviticus 6:19) 4. The law of the sin offering (Leviticus 6:24) 5. The law of the trespass offering (Leviticus 7:1) 6. The law of the sacrifice of the peace offerings (Leviticus 7:11) After Jehovah had given

SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS for guilt offerings and priestly dues. Leviticus 7:1 supplements Leviticus 5:16_ b._ The blood of the victim is to be dashed (not sprinkled) round the altar. The fat, as in other offerings, is to be carefully removed and offered to Yahweh. The priests-' dues are the same with the guilt offering as with the sin offering. (Every guilt offering is also a sin offering, though the reverse, of course, is not the case.) The notice about priests-' dues is fragmentary (see Leviticus 7:28). The priests are to have the hide of the victim; in the sacrificial tariffs of Marseilles and Sippar the hide goes to the priests; at Carthage, to the offerer. Baked, tried, and griddled meal offerings (cf

(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 the altar are the same (Leviticus 3:4; Leviticus 3:9-11; Levitic
