Leviticus 7:1 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:1

Likewise this [is] the law of the trespass [offering]
Or the various rites and rules to be observed at the offering of it: the persons for whom it was to be made are described in the two preceding chapters, ( Leviticus 5:1-6:30 ) both such that sinned through ignorance, and knowingly, and here the place and parts of the offering, and how to be disposed of, are declared:

it [is] most holy;
wholly devoted for sacred use, either to the Lord, or to his priests; there were some things the Jews call light holy things, and others most holy in the highest degree, of this sort was the trespass offering.

Leviticus 7:1 In-Context

1 "These are the instructions for the Compensation-Offering. It is most holy.
2 Slaughter the Compensation-Offering in the same place that the Whole-Burnt-Offering is slaughtered. Splash its blood against all sides of the Altar.
3 Offer up all the fat: the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails,
4 the two kidneys and the fat encasing them at the loins, and the lobe of the liver that is removed with the kidneys.
5 The priest burns them on the Altar as a gift to God. It is a Compensation-Offering.
