VERSE 1
It is very probable, that the transactions recorded in this
and the four following chapters took place during the time the
Israelites abode in Kadesh (De 1:46.)
VERSE 2
* :18 Le 14:34; 23:10; 25:2 De 7:1,2; 12:1,9
VERSE 3
- will make. * Ex 29:18,25,41 Le 1:2,3,9,13,17; 10:13
- a burnt.
* Le 1:1-17
- a sacrifice.
* Le 7:16; 22:18-23 De 12:11
- performing. Heb. separating.
* Le 27:2

* Le 22:21,23 De 12:6,17; 16:10

* Nu 28:16-19,27; 29:1,2,8,13-40 Le 23:8,12,36 De 16:1-17
- a sweet.
* 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
- a meat.
* Ex 29:40 Le 2:1; 6:14; 7:9,10; 23:13 Isa 66:20 Mal 1:11 Ro 15:16
* Heb 13:16
- the fourth.

* :2 De 26:1-15
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 20
- a cake.
* Nu 18:12 Ex 23:19 De 26:2-10 Ne 10:37 Pr 3:9,10 Eze 44:30
* Mt 6:33 Ro 11:16 1Co 15:20 Jas 1:18 Re 14:4
- the heave-offering.
* Le 2:14; 23:20,16,17
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.
* Le 4:2,13,14,22,27; 5:13,15-17 Ps 19:12 Lu 12:48
VERSE 23
VERSE 24
- if ought. See on
* Le 4:13
- without. Heb. from the eyes. one young bullock. See on
* Le 4:14-21
- with his.
* :8-10
- manner. or, ordinance. one kid.
* Nu 28:15 Le 4:23 2Ch 29:21-24 Ezr 6:17; 8:35
VERSE 25
- the priest. See on
* Le 4:20,26 Ro 3:25 1Jo 2:2
- forgiven them.
* Lu 23:34 Ac 13:39
VERSE 26
VERSE 27
- See on
* Le 4:27,28 Ac 3:17; 17:30 1Ti 1:13
VERSE 28
* Le 4:35
VERSE 29
- one law. See on ver.
* :15; 9:14 Le 16:29; 17:15 Ro 3:29,30
- sinneth. Heb. doeth.
VERSE 30
- doeth ought.
* Nu 9:13; 14:44 Ge 17:14 Ex 21:14 Le 20:3,6,10 De 1:43; 17:12
* 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.
* Le 26:15,43 2Sa 12:9 Ps 126 119:126 Pr 13:13 Isa 30:12 1Th 4:8
* Heb 10:28,29
- 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.
* Ex 16:23,27,28; 20:8-10; 35:2,3
VERSE 33
* Joh 8:3-20
VERSE 34
* Le 24:12
VERSE 35
- The man.
* Ex 31:14,15
- stone him. See on
* Le 24:14,23 1Ki 21:13 Ac 7:58 Heb 13:11,12
VERSE 36
* Jos 7:25
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
VERSE 39
- remember.
* Ex 13:9 De 6:6-9; 11:18-21,28-32 Pr 3:1
- ye seek not.
* De 29:19 Job 31:7 Pr 28:26 Ec 11:9 Jer 9:14 Eze 6:9
- go a whoring.
* Ex 34:15,16 Ps 73:27; 106:39 Ho 2:2 Jas 4 4:4
VERSE 40
- be holy.
* Le 11:44,45; 19:2 Ro 12:1 Eph 1:4 Col 1:2 1Th 4:7 1Pe 1:15,16
VERSE 41
* Le 22:33; 25:38 Ps 105:45 Jer 31:31-33; 32:37-41 Eze 36:25-27
* Heb 11:16 1Pe 2:9,10
