Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Leviticus 6:27

Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.Upon any garment — Upon the priest's garment; for it was he only that sprinkled it, and in so doing he might easily sprinkle his garments.In the holy place — Partly out of reverence to the blood of sacrifices, which hereby was kept from a profane or common touch; and partly that such garments might be decent,... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Leviticus 6:28

But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.Broken — Because being full of pores, the liquor in which it was sodden might easily sink into it, whereby it was ceremonially holy, and therefore was broken, lest afterwards it should be abused to common uses.Rinsed — And not broken, as being of considerable value, which therefore God would not have unnecessarily wasted. And this being of a more solid... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:1-2

WILFUL FRAUD TRESPASS OFFERING AND FINE, Leviticus 6:1-7. 2. Trespass See Leviticus 5:15, note. Against the Lord Every crime against man is also a sin against God, his Creator. The creature cannot be wronged without offending his Maker. Every violation of the second table of the law by acts flowing from a lack of love to our neighbour transgresses also the requirement of the first table, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart.” And lie Or deny that the goods or money... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:3

3. Found… lost The Roman code was evidently the voice of the same Divine Legislator speaking the same words through nature as he spake to Moses in the tabernacle. By that code he who found and appropriated any property was punished as a thief, whether he knew the owner or not. A brief statute of Solon was, “Take not up what you laid not down.” Property as a natural right, without which civilization would be annihilated and the human race become extinct, finds ample safeguards in the Holy... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:4

4. He shall restore Fruits mete for repentance are required before ceremonialism; mercy, or a right state of heart, before sacrifice. Thus the Philippian jailer washed the stripes of Christ’s ambassadors before he received baptism at their hands. Where restitution is possible, it must be immediately made; where it is not immediately possible, it must be solemnly promised, and the promise must be performed as soon as practicable. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:5

5. In the principal The property itself or its full value must be restored, with the addition of the fifth part, as a compensation to the injured party, as a penalty for the unjust deed, and as a motive to honesty in the future. In the day of his trespass offering In the day his offering is to be presented. The reconciliation with the injured party must be made before the offering can be accepted. See note on Matthew 5:23-24. The marginal reading of the Authorized Version, “in the day of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:6

6. Unto the Lord Much the most solemn aspect of every evil deed is the side which is contemplated by the moral Governor of the world. The offender must be brought to a vivid realization of the damage done to the cause of religion and the reproach which he has cast upon his God. There must be an atonement to Jehovah as well as a compensation to his fellow-man. Estimation See note on Leviticus 5:15. read more

7. It shall be forgiven him After voluntary confession, restitution, compensation, and presentation of his trespass offering for a propitiation for his sin, he might trust in the mercy of God for forgiveness. For the nature of this forgiveness, see Introduction, (7.) read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:8-30

ORDINANCES APPERTAINING TO THE PRIESTS, Leviticus 6:8-30. We now come to what might be appropriately styled the priest’s rubric of sacrifice, or altar-book, in which his duties are minutely specified, in order that the ritual might be performed with the uniformity and decency becoming the majesty and holiness of Jehovah. In the best Hebrew Bibles chapter vi begins here. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 6:9

9. The law of the burnt offering The rules for offering this sacrifice were laid down for the priests and for individual worshippers in chapter 1. But the following rules are for the guidance of the priests in the national morning and evening sacrifice. At about sunrise incense was burnt upon the golden altar, before any other sacrifice, beautifully teaching that prayer and praise should be the first employment of our waking moments. One lamb was then offered as a whole burnt offering, and... read more
