7:1-10 In the sin-offering and the trespass-offering, the sacrifice was divided between the altar and the priest; the offerer had no share, as he had in the peace-offerings. The former expressed repentance and sorrow for sin, therefore it was more proper to fast than feast; the peace-offerings denoted communion with a reconciled God in Christ, the joy and gratitude of a pardoned sinner, and the privileges of a true believer.

And the priest shall burn them upon the altar,.... Fat taken off of the several parts before mentioned, and the kidneys: which were to be for an offering made by fire unto the Lord; and was acceptable to him, being typical of the offering of Christ, which is a sweet smelling savour, bearing the fire of divine wrath in the room and stead of his people: it is the trespass offering; an offering for a trespass committed, to make atonement for it; and this part of it, the burning of the fat, was properly the offering to the Lord, all the rest were the priest's, as follows.

CHAPTER 7 Le 7:1-27. The Law of the Trespass Offering. 1. Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering—This chapter is a continuation of the laws that were to regulate the duty of the priests respecting the trespass offerings. The same regulations obtained in this case as in the burnt offerings—part was to be consumed on the altar, while the other part was a perquisite of the priests—some fell exclusively to the officiating minister, and was the fee for his services; others were the common share of all the priestly order, who lived upon them as their provision, and whose meetings at a common table would tend to promote brotherly harmony and friendship.

The fat portions only were to be burned upon the altar, viz., the same as in the sin and peace-offerings (see Leviticus 4:8 and Leviticus 3:9 ); but the flesh was to be eaten by the priests, as in the sin-offering ( Leviticus 6:22 ), inasmuch as there was the same law in this respect for both the sin-offering and trespass-offering; and these parts of the sacrificial service must therefore have had the same meaning, every trespass being a sin (see Leviticus 6:26 ). - Certain analogous instructions respecting the burnt-offering and meat-offering are appended in Leviticus 7:8-10 by way of supplement, as they ought properly to have been given in ch. 6, in the laws relating to the sacrifices in question.

Rom . 109 ‘Now leaven is itself the offspring of corruption, and corrupts the lump ( φύραμα ) with which it is mixed’); and so in the NT. it becomes a figure of corrupt teaching or practice, Matthew 16:6 (= Mark 8:15 = Luke 12:1 ), 11: St Paul twice quotes the saying, ‘A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump’ ( 1 Corinthians 5:6 , Galatians 5:9 ), with reference to moral corruption: and in 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 , with evident reference to the injunction here, bids Christians ‘clear away the old leaven,’ and ‘keep the feast’ of their Passover, Christ (i.e. live the Christian life), with the ‘unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.’ that soul shall be cut off from Israel ] a formula, with slight variations (as he or that man for that soul ; and from his father’s kin or from the congregation for from Israel ), very common in P: v. 19, Genesis 17:14 , Exodus 30:37-38 ; Exodus 31:14 , Leviticus 7:20-21 ; Leviticus 7:25 ; Leviticus 7:27 ; Leviticus 17:4 ; Leviticus 17:9 ; Leviticus 18:29 ; Leviticus 19:8 ; Leviticus 20:17-18 ; Leviticus 22:3 ; Leviticus 23:29 , Numbers 9:13 ; Numbers 15:30-31 ; Numbers 19:13 ; Numbers 19:20 † (cf. with the first person, I will cut off …, Leviticus 17:10 ; Leviticus 20:3 ; Leviticus 20:5-6 †; I will destroy …, Leviticus 23:30 †). The offence for which this is the penalty is usually neglect of some ceremonial observance, and only occasionally a moral offence, or idolatry.

16 . sprinkle ] toss: viz. in a volume, out of a tossing-vessel or basin (see on Exodus 27:3 ). ‘Sprinkle’ not only conveys an incorrect idea of the action meant, but also confuses it with an entirely different action, correctly represented by ‘sprinkle’ ( Leviticus 4:6 ; Leviticus 4:17 ; Leviticus 5:9 &c.): it is to be regretted that the distinction, obliterated in AV., but correctly pointed out in the Speaker’s Commentary (1. ii. 499b) in 1871, should not have been preserved in RV. The reader who desires to understand correctly the sacrificial ritual of the Hebrew should correct on the margin of his copy of the RV. toss or throw for ‘sprinkle’ (with against for ‘upon,’ where altar follows: see the next note) here, v. 20, Exodus 24:6 , Leviticus 1:5 ; Leviticus 1:11 ; Leviticus 3:2 ; Leviticus 3:8 ; Leviticus 3:13 ; Leviticus 7:2 ; Leviticus 7:14 ; Leviticus 8:19 ; Leviticus 8:24 ; Leviticus 9:12 ; Leviticus 9:18 ; Leviticus 17:6 , Numbers 18:17 ; Numbers 19:13 ; Numbers 19:20 (but vv. 4, 18, 19, 21 ‘sprinkle’ is correct), 2 Kings 16:13 ; 2 Kings 16:15 , Ezekiel 43:18 , 2 Chronicles 29:22 ; 2 Chronicles 30:16 ; 2 Chronicles 35:11 ; also Ezekiel 36:25 and Exodus 9:8 ; Exodus 9:10 . upon ] against. As the Jews expressly state, the blood was thrown not upon the altar, but against the sides of it, and in such a manner that with two movements of the ‘tossing-vessel’ the blood was thrown against its four sides ( Zebâḥim v. 4 ff.; Rashi on Leviticus 1:5 ).
