Leviticus 7:19

_AND THE FLESH THAT TOUCHETH ANY UNCLEAN THING SHALL NOT BE EATEN; IT SHALL BE BURNT WITH FIRE: AND AS FOR THE FLESH, ALL THAT BE CLEAN SHALL EAT THEREOF._ The flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten. Flesh offered in sacrifice, being holy (Exodus 29:34), was defiled by contact with anything unclean, and therefore, being unfit for use, was to be burned with fire. AND AS FOR THE FLESH ALL THAT BE CLEAN SHALL EAT THEREOF - i:e., of the sacrificial feast. This statement was an explanatory addendum, seasonably made after the peremptory injunction to burn the sacrificial flesh, which had been in any way polluted or defiled; and the import of it was, that no one who was ceremonially clean was prevented from accepting an invitation to partake of the meal....

19._And the flesh that toucheth. _It was not indeed lawful to eat of any polluted flesh, but in the sacrifices there was a special reason for this, _i.e., _because the uncleanness involved sacrilege. On this account he commands it to be burnt, just like that which had not been consumed within the legitimate time; and the punishment is, (288) that if any unclean person shall have touched the consecrated meat, he should be cut off from the people. The cruelty or immoderate severity of this has induced some to think that to be “cut off” is nothing more than to be cast out of the camp. But it is not wonderful that God should have thus severely dealt with those who knowingly and wilfully contaminated what was holy; for if any one had sinned in error, he was not to receive this sentence, but only he who had betrayed his open contempt of God by impious profanation of sacred things....

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....

It was proper that the sacrificial meat should not be polluted by any approach to putrefaction. But the exclusion of a mean-spirited economy may further have furnished the ground for the distinction between the thank-offerings and the others. The most liberal distribution of the meat of the offering, particularly among the poor who were invited to partake, would plainly be becoming when the sacrifice was intended especially to express gratitude for mercies received....

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

AND THE FLESH THAT TOUCHETH ANY UNCLEAN [THING] SHALL NOT BE EATEN,.... That is, the flesh of the peace offerings; should it be touched by any unclean person, man or woman; that was so in a ceremonial sense, being profluvious or menstruous, or having touched anything unclean, or touched by any unclean creature, as a dog or the like, as it might be while carried from the tabernacle to any of their tents or houses: IT SHALL BE BURNT WITH FIRE; that no profit might be had of it; and this was to make them careful in carrying it from place to place: AND AS FOR THE FLESH, ALL THAT BE CLEAN SHALL EAT THEREOF; that are clean in a ceremonial sense; as all that are clean in an evangelic sense, through the blood and righteousness of Christ, may, by faith, eat his flesh and drink his blood. Jarchi observes, that whereas it is said, Deuteronomy 12:27 "thou

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
