SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:17
¿Por qué no comisteis la expiación en el lugar santo? Porque es santísimo, y la dio él a vosotros para llevar la iniquidad de la congregación, para que sean reconciliados delante del SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:17
Verse 17. To bear the iniquity of the congregation] See on "chap. vi. 26", &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Wherefore have ye not eaten of the sin [offering] in the holy place, seeing it [is] most holy , etc.] The sin offering was one of the most holy things, and therefore to be eaten only in the sanctuary; though this was not the fault they are here charged with that they had eat it, but not in the holy place; for they had not eaten it at all, but burnt it, as appears from the preceding verse; this is what they are blamed for particularly, though they are reminded of the whole law concerning it, that it was to he eaten by them, that it was to be eaten in the holy place, the reason of which is given; but they had not eaten it any where: and [God] hath given it to you, to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord ? for by eating the sin offering, or sin itself, as it is in the original text, (see Hosea 4:8) they made the sins of the people, for whom the offering was, in some sense their own; and they bore them, and made a typical atonement for them; in which they were types of Christ, who was made sin for his people, took their sins upon him, and by imputation they were made his own, and he bore them in his own body on the tree, and made full satisfaction and atonement for them. Now since the eating of the sin offering of the people was of so great importance and consequence, the neglect of it by the priests was very blameworthy.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-20 - Afflictions should rather quicken us to our duty, than take us from it But our unfitness for duty, when it is natural and not sinful, wil have great allowances made for it; God will have mercy, and no sacrifice. Let us profit by the solemn warning this history conveys When professing worshippers come with zeal without knowledge, carna affections, earthly, light, vain, trifling thoughts, the devices of will-worship, instead of the offering of soul and spirit; then the incense is kindled by a flame which never came down from heaven, whic the Spirit of a holy God never sent within their hearts __________________________________________________________________
