SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:20
Ninguna cosa en que haya falta ofreceréis, porque no será acepto por vosotros.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 22:20
Verse 20. Whatsoever hath a blemish] The same perfection is required in the sacrifice that was required in the priest; see on ver. 2, and the notes on the preceding chapter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. For whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer , etc.] Which is the general rule, the particulars of which are after given, and which has been imitated by the Heathens. The Egyptians, as they only sacrificed the males of beeves, so they were very curious in examining them, that they might be entirely pure and perfect f784 ; and it was a custom among the Romans, that such sheep should be chosen for sacrifice, in which there was nothing wanting f785 ; and so, among the Grecians, Homer speaks of perfect goats offered in sacrifice to appease the gods: for it shall not be acceptable for you ; be grateful to God, and accepted by him on their account, if blemished; (see Malachi 1:13,14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Laws concerning the priests and sacrifices. --In this chapter we have divers laws concerning the priests an sacrifices, all for preserving the honour of the sanctuary. Let u recollect with gratitude that our great High Priest cannot be hindere by any thing from the discharge of his office. Let us also remember that the Lord requires us to reverence his name, his truths, his ordinances, and commandments. Let us beware of hypocrisy, and examin ourselves concerning our sinful defilements, seeking to be purifie from them in the blood of Christ, and by his sanctifying Spirit Whoever attempts to expiate his own sin, or draws near in the pride of self-righteousness, puts as great an affront on Christ, as he who come to the Lord's table from the gratification of sinful lusts. Nor can the minister who loves the souls of the people, suffer them to continue in this dangerous delusion. He must call upon them, not only to repent of their sins, and forsake them; but to put their whole trust in the atonement of Christ, by faith in his name, for pardon and acceptanc with God; thus only will the Lord make them holy, as his own people __________________________________________________________________
