Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Leviticus 17:1-16

2. The Testimony Concerning the Blood CHAPTER 17 1. Concerning slain animals (Leviticus 17:1-9 ) 2. Concerning the eating of blood (Leviticus 17:10-16 ) This chapter needs little comment. Everything in this chapter speaks of the sanctity of the blood, what great value God, to whom life belongs, places upon the blood and with what jealous care He watches over it. The center of all is verse 11: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 17:1-16

GOD'S RIGHTS WHEN AN ANIMAL WAS KILLED (vv. 1-16) This chapter is an appendix to chapter 16, though it does not deal with the sin offering. Rather, the Lord now strongly insists that any Israelite who would slaughter an ox or a lamb or a goat must bring it to the door of the tent of meeting to present it as an offering to the Lord. Verse 5 adds that these were to be offered as peace offerings to the Lord. The offerer received most of the peace offering as food, but first the fat, the two... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 17:1-16

ABOMINATIONS UNTO THE LORD The underlying thought of this section is in the words of Leviticus 18:1-5 . Israel is redeemed and separated unto God, therefore, she is to live consistently with that fact in all her ways. She is not to do after the heathen peoples round about her. THE QUESTION OF EATING (Leviticus 17:0 ) It looks as though the opening injunction of this chapter touched once more upon the ceremonial and recurred to a matter considered under the offerings. But in that case the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 17:13-16

What a precious consideration is it to a true believer in JESUS, that CHRIST hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us. Observe, what those two great apostles Peter and Paul, have said on this subject of the Mosaic law in general. Peter observes the heaviness of the yoke: Acts 15:10-11 . And Paul the unprofitableness of it, Romans 14:14-17 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 17:10-16

10-16 Here is a confirmation of the law against eating blood. They must eat no blood. But this law was ceremonial, and is now no longer in force; the coming of the substance does away the shadow. The blood of beasts is no longer the ransom, but Christ's blood only; therefore there is not now the reason for abstaining there then was. The blood is now allowed for the nourishment of our bodies; it is no longer appointed to make an atonement for the soul. Now the blood of Christ makes atonement... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Leviticus 17:10-16

Eating of Blood Forbidden v. 10. And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood, I will even set My face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. Cf 7:27. The Lord Himself threatens to be the executor in this case, for the transgression of this law was inconsistent with membership among the holy people of God. v. 11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, is carried by... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 17:1-16

“The Life of the Flesh is in the Blood” Leviticus 17:1-16 Every animal that was slain for food was regarded as a kind of peace-offering, and was therefore slain at the door of the Tabernacle. This law, though it expressed a great principle, was only provisional. It was kept as long as Israel dwelled in the Wilderness, but repealed when they entered the Land of Promise, where their numbers and diffusion would have rendered its strict observance impossible. See Deuteronomy 12:15-24 . Very... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 17:1-16

Very definite instructions were given to the priests concerning sacrifices. These provided, first, that all sacrifices must be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting. This provision at once recognized the unification of the nation around the fact of the divine presence It reminded the people that worship is possible only along divinely ordained lines and in no isolated independence; and so by making offering of sacrifice there, the possibility of offering worship to strange gods was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 17:13-14

The Law Concerning The Eating of Hunted Down Wild Beasts And Birds (Leviticus 17:13-14 ). Leviticus 17:13 “And whatever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird which may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.” When a beast or bird ‘which may be eaten’ (compare Leviticus 11:0) is taken in hunting, and the main stress here is on the hunting of clean beasts and birds, their blood must be... read more
