Leviticus 4:6-7 NIV,NKJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-12

The laws contained in the first three chapters seem to have been delivered to Moses at one time. Here begin the statutes of another session, another day. From the throne of glory between the cherubim God delivered these orders. And he enters now upon a subject more strictly new than those before. Burnt-offerings, meat-offerings, and peace-offerings, it should seem, had been offered before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai; those sacrifices the patriarchs had not been altogether... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:6

And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood ,.... The finger of his right hand, as Gersom observes, and so Maimonides F18 Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 5. sect. 7. Bartenora in Misn. Menachot, c. 3. sect. 4. ; for blood was always taken and sprinkled with the right hand, if done with the left it was wrong, according to the Jewish canons F19 Misn. Zebachim, c. 2. sect. 1. & Bartenora in ib. and though it is only said the priest, and not that is anointed, as before, yet it seems... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 4:7

And the priest shall put some of the blood ,.... With his finger, which he dipped into it: upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation ; this was the golden altar on which incense was offered: it was placed before the vail, on the outside of it, in the holy place, see Exodus 30:1 and the priest, when he put the blood on the horns of it, began at the northeast horn, so to the northwest, then to the southwest, and last to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 4:6

Seven times - See Clarke's note on Exodus 29:30 . The blood of this sacrifice was applied in three different ways: The priest put his finger in it, and sprinkled it seven times before the veil, Leviticus 4:6 . He put some of it on the horns of the altar of incense. 3. He poured the remaining part at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offerings, Leviticus 4:7 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-9

Unintentional transgression. God is the source of authority and law. From him instructions emanate. His words are to be communicated to the people. Like unto Moses, ministers and teachers receive truth not to secrete it in their own breasts, but to impart it for the guidance of those under their charge. "The Lord spake,… saying, Speak unto the children of Israel." May we listen carefully, lest the utterances of the "still small voice" should be misheard, and the counsels intended for... read more

The sin offering viewed as typical of the Sacrifice of Calvary. This subject wilt be best considered by citing sonic of the more notable references to it contained in the Scriptures of the New Testament. I.

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 4:1-35

The sin offering signifies and ceremonially effects propitiation and expiation. Its characteristic feature, therefore, is the presentation of the blood of the victim, which in this sacrifice alone (when it was offered for the high priest or the whole congregation) was carried into the tabernacle and solemnly sprinkled before the vail which covered God's presence. I. WHEN IT WAS TO BE OFFERED . On certain solemn public occasions, and whenever the conscience of an individual... read more

Atonement for the penitent, as illustrated in the sin offering. Le Leviticus 5:1-13 ; cf. Psalms 19:12 ; Galatians 6:1 ; 1 Timothy 1:13 , etc. The offerings already considered, viz. the burnt offering, the meat offering, and the peace offering, have respectively emphasized the ideas of personal consecration, consecrated life-work, and fellowship.

The case of the high priest. He is designated the priest that is anointed , in respect to which title, see notes on Leviticus 8:1-36 . In case he sins in his representative character, his sin is such as to bring guilt on the people (this is the meaning of the words translated according to the sin of the people ), and a special sin offering must therefore be made. He is to take of the blood of the animal sacrificed, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:… and sprinkle of... read more
