Commentary

Matthew Henry on Leviticus 7:1-10

Observe here, 1. Concerning the trespass-offering, that, being much of the same nature with the sin-offering, it was to be governed by the same rules, Lev 7:6. When the blood and fat were offered to God to make atonement, the priests were to eat the flesh, as that of the sin-offering, in the holy place. The Jews have a tradition (as we have it from the learned bishop Patrick) concerning the sprinkling of the blood of the trespass-offering round about upon the altar, "That there was a scarlet line which went round about the altar exactly in the middle, and the blood of the burnt-offerings was sprinkled round about above the line, but that of the trespass-offerings and peace-offerings round ab…

John Calvin on Leviticus 7:1-5

Leviticus 7:1-5 1. Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy. 1. Ista autem est lex hostiae pro delicto: sanctificatio sanctificationum est. 2. In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar. 2. Quo in loco mactabunt hostiam holocausti, mactabunt hostiam pro delicto, et sanguinem ejus sparget super altare per circuitum. 3. And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, 3. Totum vero adipem ejus offeret ex ea, caudam, et adipem operientem intestina. 4.

The Church Fathers

What is the tail, except the end of the body? And that man sacrifices well who continues his offering of good works right to the end of the required action. So the tail of a beast must be offered on the altar so that we will carry out to the end every good work that we begin.
