Leviticus 6 — Overview

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

The first seven verses of this chapter might fitly have been added to the foregoing chapter, being a continuation of the law of the trespass-offering, and the putting of other cases in which it was to be offered; and with this end the instructions God gave concerning the several kinds of sacrifices that should be offered: and then at v. 8 (which in the original begins a new section of the law) he comes to appoint the several rites and ceremonies concerning these sacrifices which had not been mentioned before. I. The burnt-offering, ver. 8-13. II. The meat-offering (ver. 11-18), particularly that at the consecration of the priest, ver. 19-23. III. The sin-offering, ver. 24, &c.

Law of the Trespass-Offering. (b. c. 1490.)
