Leviticus 7:16

_AND THE FLESH OF THE SACRIFICE OF HIS PEACE OFFERINGS FOR THANKSGIVING SHALL BE EATEN THE SAME DAY THAT IT IS OFFERED; HE SHALL NOT LEAVE ANY OF IT UNTIL THE MORNING._ Eaten the same day that it is offered. The flesh of the sacrifices was eaten on the day of the offering, or on the day following. Verse 16. BUT IF THE SACRIFICE OF HIS OFFERING BE A VOW, OR A VOLUNTARY OFFERING - х_ NEDER_ (H5088), a votive offering, as opposed to _ NªDAABAAH_ (H5071), a free-will offering]. ON THE MORROW ALSO THE REMAINDER OF IT SHALL BE EATEN. This prohibition clearly implied that the offerer was to entertain his friends in a festive manner. Such voluntary offerings, differing from those offered in fulfillment of a vow, were provided for in the law; and they were frequently offered in connection with the great public festivals, both for the sake of

16._But if the sacrifice of his offering. _I have observed a little above that it is not a conditional but a simple vow which is here meant; because, if a person were under the obligation of a vow, (287) his payment was an act of thanksgiving, and thus his sacrifice was comprised under the first head. But it would not be without absurdity that similar things should be distinguished as if they differed. But inasmuch as many made gratuitous vows, Moses combines this kind of sacrifice with the free-will-offering, as standing in the same rank. It has also been stated that the consecrated meats were not kept too long, lest they should become tainted or putrified, and thus religion should fall into contempt. Perhaps, too, vainglory was thus provided against; for if it had been allowable to eat the meats salted, many would have made ostentatious offerings without expense. God, therefore, impose...

11-27 As to the peace-offerings, in the expression of their sense of mercy, God left them more at liberty, than in the expression of their sense of sin; that their sacrifices, being free-will offerings, might be the more acceptable, while, by obliging them to bring the sacrifices of atonement, God shows the necessity of the great Propitiation. The main reason why blood was forbidden of old, was because the Lord had appointed blood for an atonement. This use, being figurative, had its end in Christ, who by his death and blood-shedding caused the sacrifices to cease. Therefore this law is not now in force on believers....

The vow-offering appears to have been a peace-offering vowed upon a certain condition; the voluntary-offering, one offered as the simple tribute of a devout heart rejoicing in peace with God and man offered on no external occasion (compare Leviticus 22:17)....

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

BUT IF THE SACRIFICE OF HIS OFFERING BE A VOW,.... Be on account of a vow made, as, that if he was favoured with such and such benefits, or delivered out of such and such troubles and distresses, then he would offer such a sacrifice: OR A VOLUNTARY OFFERING; without any condition or obligation; what from the mere motion of his mind he freely offered, not being directed to it by any command of God, or under any necessity from a vow of his own, and without any view to; any future good to be enjoyed: Aben Ezra describes both the one and the other thus; a "vow" which he uttered with his lips in his distresses, a "voluntary offering", which his spirit made him willing to bring, a sacrifice to God neither for a vow nor for thanksgiving: IT SHALL BE EATEN THE SAME DAY THAT HE OFFERETH HIS SACRIFICE; that is, it shall be begun to be eaten then, and if all is eaten up it is very well, but they...

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

IF THE SACRIFICE OF HIS OFFERING BE A VOW, OR A VOLUNTARY OFFERING— We find in chap. Leviticus 22:23 the _votive_ and _voluntary offerings_ plainly distinguished; but it is not easy for us to assign the reasons of the different rites enjoined for these and the _gratulatory_ offerings....
