Concise Complete
Concerning trespasses against our neighbour. (1-7)
Concerning the burnt-offering. (8-13) Concerning the meat-offering. (14-23)
Concerning the sin-offering. (24-30)Verses 1-7
Though all the instances relate to our neighbour, yet it is called a trespass
against the Lord. Though the person injured be mean, and even despicable, yet
the injury reflects upon that God who has made the command of loving our
neighbour next to that of loving himself. Human laws make a difference as to
punishments; but all methods of doing wrong to others, are alike violations of
the Divine law, even keeping what is found, when the owner can be discovered.
Frauds are generally accompanied with lies, often with false oaths. If the
offender would escape the vengeance of God, he must make ample restitution,
according to his power, and seek forgiveness by faith in that one Offering which
taketh away the sin of the world. The trespasses here mentioned, still are
trespasses against the law of Christ, which insists as much upon justice and
truth, as the law of nature, or the law of Moses.
Verses 8-13 The
daily sacrifice of a lamb is chiefly referred to. The priest must take care of
the fire upon the altar. The first fire upon the altar came from heaven, ch.
9:24; by keeping that up continually, all their sacrifices might be said to be
consumed with the fire from heaven, in token of God's acceptance. Thus should
the fire of our holy affections, the exercise of our faith and love, of prayer
and praise, be without ceasing.
Verses 14-23
The law of the burnt-offerings put upon the priests a great deal of care and
work; the flesh was wholly burnt, and the priests had nothing but the skin. But
most of the meat-offering was their own. It is God's will that his ministers
should be provided with what is needful.
Verses 24-30
The blood of the sin-offering was to be washed out of the clothes on which it
should happen to be sprinkled, which signified the regard we ought to have to
the blood of Christ, not counting it a common thing. The vessel in which the
flesh of the sin-offering was boiled must be broken, if it were an earthen one;
but if a brazen one, well washed. This showed that the defilement was not wholly
taken away by the offering; but the blood of Christ thoroughly cleanses from all
sin. All these rules set forth the polluting nature of sin, and the removal of
guilt from the sinner to the sacrifice. Behold and wonder at Christ's love, in
that he was content to be made a sin-offering for us, and so to procure our
pardon for continual sins and failings. He that knew no sin was made sin (that
is, a

only pardon, but power also, against sin,
