Leviticus 7

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Introduction

1  The law of the trespass offering;
11  and of the peace offering;
12  whether it be for a thanksgiving;
16  or a vow, or a free will offering.
22  The fat and the blood are forbidden.
28  The priests' portion in the peace offerings.
35  The whole summed up.
Verse 1

Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
the law
5:1-6, 14:12,13, 19:21,22, Numbers 6:12, Ezekiel 40:39, 44:29, 46:20
it is

Verse 2

In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
in the place

and the

Verse 3

3:3-5,9-11,15,16, 4:8-10, Exodus 29:13, Psalms 51:6,17
Verse 5

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.

Verse 6

Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
male
6:16-18,29, Numbers 18:9,10
it is most holy
2:3
Verse 7

As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
the trespass
6:25,26, 14:13
Verse 8

And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
even the priest
All the flesh of the burnt offerings being consumed upon the altar, as well as the fat, there could nothing fall to the share of the priest but the skin; which must have been very valuable, as they were used as mattresses (ch. 15:17,) or as carpets to sit upon in the day. They are still used for the same purpose by some of the inhabitants and dervishes of the East. Bishop Patrick remarks, that Adam himself offered the first sacrifice, and had the skin given him by God, to make garments for him and his wife; in conformity with which, the priests ever after had the skin of the whole burnt offerings for their portion.
skin
1:6, 4:11, Genesis 3:21, Exodus 29:14, Numbers 19:5, Romans 13:14

Verse 23

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
fat
Any other fat they might eat; but the fat of these was sacred, because they were the only animals which were offered in sacrifice, though many others ranked among the clean animals as well as these. This prohibition may, however, be understood of these animals when offered in sacrifice, and then only in reference to the inward fat, described in ver. 4. Of the fat in any other circumstances, it cannot be intended, as it was one of the especial blessings which God gave to his people.--"Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats," were the provision which he graciously bestowed on his followers. (See De 32:12-14.)
3:16,17, 4:8-10, 17:6, Deuteronomy 32:38, 1 Samuel 2:15-17,29, Acts 28:27, Romans 8:13, Romans 13:13

And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.

Verse 25

For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
shall be cut off
Verse 26

Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
ye shall eat
The prohibition of the fat or suet, which was restricted to animals offered in sacrifice, taught reverence to the altar and ordinances of God; but that of blood, which was extended to all land animals, had especial respect to the atoning blood of the sacrifice, and of the great antitype which the sacrifice prefigured.
3:17, 17:10-14, Genesis 9:4, 1 Samuel 14:33,34, Ezekiel 33:25, John 6:53, Acts 15:20, Acts 15:29, Ephesians 1:7, 1 Timothy 4:4
Verse 27

Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
that soul
20,21,25, Hebrews 10:29
shall be
Shall be excommunicated or cut off from the people of God, and so deprived of any part of their inheritance or of their blessings.
Verse 29

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

34, 8:25,26, 9:21, 10:14, Numbers 6:20, 18:18,19, Deuteronomy 18:3, 1 Corinthians 9:13,14
Verse 33

He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
