Leviticus 7:38

_THIS IS THE LAW OF THE BURNT OFFERING, OF THE MEAT OFFERING, AND OF THE SIN OFFERING, AND OF THE TRESPASS OFFERING, AND OF THE CONSECRATIONS, AND OF THE SACRIFICE OF THE PEACE OFFERINGS;_ This is the law of the burnt offering. Here follows an enumeration of the various Levitical sacrifices. They have been arranged in the following classification-namely, impetratoria (supplicatory), eucharistica (thanksgiving), and piacularia (expiatory). The burnt offering, which is the most ancient of them, had in patriarchal times a very general significance, which probably comprehended all the three orders now mentioned. Its import was of course modified by the introduction of these numerous varieties; and in comparing the elaborate system of sacrifices prescribed by the Mosaic law with the simpler observances of the patriarchs, an intelligent reader can have no difficulty in perceiving an adaptatio...

Verse 38. _IN THE WILDERNESS OF SINAI._] These laws were probably given to Moses while he was on the mount with God; the time was quite sufficient, as he was there with God not less than fourscore days in all; forty days at the _giving_, and forty days at the _renewing_ of the law. As in the course of this book the different kinds of sacrifices commanded to be offered are repeatedly occurring, I think it best, once for all, to give a general account of them, and a definition of the original terms, as well as of all others _relative_ to this subject which are used in the Old Testament, and the reference in which they all stood to the great sacrifice offered by Christ. 1. אשם ASHAM, TRESPASS-_offering_, from אשם _asham_, to be _guilty_, or _liable to punishment_; for in this sacrifice the guilt was considered as being transferred to the animal offered up to God, and the offerer redeemed...

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

WHICH THE LORD COMMANDED MOSES IN MOUNT SINAI,.... Or "by" or "near" t Mount Sinai; for the above laws were not given to Moses when on the mount, but after the tabernacle was erected, and out of it, as appears from Leviticus 1:1 and to which what follows agrees: IN THE DAY THAT HE COMMANDED THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TO OFFER THEIR OBLATIONS UNTO THE LORD IN THE WILDERNESS OF SINAI; where they were when the above laws were delivered to them, and which wilderness had its name from the mount near to which they now were, and where the tabernacle was pitched, from whence the Lord spoke; and so the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it, "in the tabernacle which they made for him in the wilderness of Sinai;'' there they were ordered to offer their oblations of every sort, as before directed. It should be observed, that this is to be understood of the command gi

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
