📚“And this is the law of the trespass offering; it is most holy: 2 📚They shall kill the trespass offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering; and he shall sprinkle its blood all around on the altar. 3 📚And he shall offer all of its fat from it, the fat tail, and the fat that covers the inner parts, 4 📚and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them which is by the flanks, and the lobe on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. 5 📚And the priest shall burn them on the altar as an offering made with fire to the LORD. It is a trespass offering. 6 📚Every male among the priests shall eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it is most holy.
7:6Lev 6:26. Note on “holy” at Lev 20:7.🪶
7 📚“The trespass offering is like the sin offering; there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement with it shall have it. 8 📚And the priest who offers anyone’s burnt offering, that priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he offers.
7:8 The skin was to be kept by the priest. This signifies Christ’s righteousness given to the believer. See notes at Gen 3:21; 15:6.🪶
9 📚And all the grain offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is cooked on the griddle and in the pan, shall belong to the priest who offers it. 10 📚And every grain offering mixed with oil or dry, shall belong to all the sons of Aaron, to one as much as another.
11 📚“And this is the law of the sacrifice of the peace offerings, which he shall offer to the LORD.
12 📚“If he offers it for thanksgiving, then with the sacrifice of thanksgiving 📖 he shall offer cakes made without yeast, mixed with oil, and wafers without yeast, anointed with oil, and cakes of kneaded fine flour, mixed with oil. 13 📚Besides the cakes, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings, he shall offer for his offering bread made without yeast. 14 📚And of this he shall offer one out of the whole offering as a lifted up offering to the LORD, and it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.
7:14Lev 2:1; 3:3-4. On the ordinary level let us see that thanksgiving results in food for the priests who did the work of the tabernacle. This is still the way God’s work should be accomplished and Christian workers supported. In thanksgiving to God we are to give to God’s work and workers.🪶
15 📚And the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16 📚“But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice, and the rest of it shall be eaten on the next day. 17 📚But on the third day the rest of the meat of the sacrifice shall be burned with fire. 18 📚And if any of the meat of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is at all eaten on the third day, it shall not be accepted, or put into the account of the one who offers it. It shall be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it shall bear his guilt.
7:16-18 Lev 19:5-8. The third day may signify the resurrection of Christ (Matt 16:21; 27:64; Luke 24:7, 21, 46). The offering that signified the sacrifice of Christ was to be completed in all aspects before that day which signified His resurrection.🪶
19 📚“And meat that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. And as for other meat, everyone who is clean shall eat it. 20 📚But the person in his uncleanness who eats any of the meat of the sacrifice of peace offerings that belong to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people. 21 📚And the person who touches any unclean thing, such as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eats any of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, that soul shall be cut off from his people”.
7:20-21 Lev 22:3-7; 19:13. In Leviticus “uncleanness” is a symbol of sin. Note at Lev 11:1; 15:31. This severe warning is similar to that given in 1 Cor 11:28-34. For other offenses connected with tabernacle worship that brought danger of death see note at Ex 28:35.🪶
22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 23 📚“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, You shall eat no kind of fat, from ox, or from sheep, or from goat. 24 📚And the fat of an animal that dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn by beasts, may be used for any other purpose, but you shall not eat it at all. 25 For whoever eats the fat of an animal which men offer as an offering made by fire to the LORD, the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people. 26 📚Moreover you shall eat no kind of blood, whether of bird or of animal, in any of your homes. 27 📚Any person who eats any kind of blood, that person shall be cut off from his people”.
28 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 29 📚“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring to the LORD his offering of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 📚His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast. He shall bring the breast so that it may be waved as a wave offering before the LORD.
31 📚“And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. 32 📚And the right shoulder you shall give to the priest as a lifted up offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33 📚Among the sons of Aaron, he who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, shall have the right shoulder as his portion. 34 📚For I have taken the wave breast and the lifted up shoulder from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their due forever from the children of Israel”.
35 📚This is the portion given at the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made with fire, in the day when he presented them to serve the LORD as priests; 36 📚which the LORD commanded to be given to them by the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, a permanent regulation throughout their generations.
37 📚This is the law of the burnt offering, of the grain offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings, 38 📚which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD in the Sinai desert.
