VERSE 1
  It is very probable, that the transactions recorded in this
  and the four following chapters took place during the time the

   * Ge 8:21 Ex 29:18 Mt 3:17 Eph 5:2 Php 4:18
- the herd.
  Under the term {bakar,} are comprehended the ox, heifer, etc;
  and under {tzon,} are included sheep and goats.  The animals
  enjoined in the Levitical law are the very same which
  commanded Abraham to offer.  (Ge 15:9.)  Hence it is evident,
  that God delivered to the patriarchs an epitome of that law
  which was afterwards given in detail to Moses, the essence of
  which consisted in its sacrifices; and these sacrifices were
  of clean animals, the most perfect, useful, and healthy of all
  that are brought under the immediate government of man.  Gross
  feeding and ferocious animals were all excluded, as well as
  all birds of prey.


VERSE 4

VERSE 19
   The oblation before prescribed seems to have been a general
  acknowledgment from the people at large; but this was an
  oblation from every one that reaped a harvest:  who was
  required, previously to tasting it himself, to offer a portion
  of dough as a heave-offering to the Lord.  This is supposed to
  have been given to the priests in their several cities, and
  not carried to the tabernacle.

   * Jos 5:11,12

VERSE 21
    * Nu 18:26 Ex 29:28


VERSE 22
   This law concerning sins of ignorance, being entirely diverse
  from one before considered, occasions considerable difficulty.
  (Le ch. 4.)  Some explain that law as relating to sins of
  commission, this to sins of omission:  others explain the one
  of inadvertent violations of the moral law, and the other of
  the transgressions of the ceremonial law:  and some think that
  related to the whole nation, this to any one tribe; or that to
  the bulk of the nation, this to the rulers and elders.  The
  Jews say, that the former law referred to such national
  transgressions through heedlessness, as consisted with the
  maintenance of the prescribed worship in the main; but that
  this especially respected the case of the nation, when through
  inattention, and the example and authority of wicked rulers,
  they had turned aside and committed idolatry, or conducted
  their worship directly contrary to law; yet through a culpable
  ignorance, and not in presumption.  This was evidently the
  case under several of their kings; and the explanation seems
  well grounded.

   * De 29:19,20 Ps 19:13 Mt 12:32 Heb 10:26,29 2Pe 2:10
- presumptuously.  Heb. with an high hand.
  That is, bold, daring, deliberate acts of transgression
  against the fullest evidence, and in despite of the Divine
  authority.  Such conduct "reproacheth the Lord," as if his
  commands were needless, unreasonable, and inimical to the
  happiness of man; his favor were not desirable, or his wrath
  not to be feared:  in short, as if it were more advantageous
  to rebel against him than to serve him.  Such acts admitted of
  no atonement:  the person was condemned to bear his own
  iniquity, and to be cut off.

- reproacheth.
   * Ps 69:9; 74:18,22; 79:12; 89:51 Pr 14:31 Isa 37:23,24


VERSE 31 
 - despised.

- his iniquity.
   * Le 5:1 Ps 38:4 Isa 53:6 Eze 18:20 1Pe 2:24 2Pe 2:21


VERSE 32 
 - they found a man.
  This example seems to have been evidently introduced to
  illustrate the foregoing law.  The man despised the word of
  the Lord, presumptuously broke his commandment, and on this
  ground was punished with death.

VERSE 36

VERSE 37


VERSE 38 
 - fringes in the borders.
  The word {tzitzith} properly denotes an ornament resembling a
  flower.  From ver. 39, we learn that these were emblematical
  of the commands of God.  That there is any analogy between a
  fringe and a precept, it would be bold to assert; but when a
  thing is appointed to represent another, no matter how
  different, that first object becomes the legitimate
  representative or sign of the other.

   * De 22:12 Mt 9:20; 23:5 Lu 8:44

 - remember.
   * Ex 13:9 De 6:6-9; 11:18-21,28-32 Pr 3:1
