Levítico 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 22:19

Ye shall offer at your own will
For vows and freewill offerings were at their own option, and depended on their own will and pleasure, and when offered should be with a willing mind, and from their whole heart: or "for good will to you"; as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; or for gracious, acceptation, that is, that they might be well pleasing to God, and acceptable in his sight, so Jarchi; in order to which the following direction was strictly to be observed: a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, and of the goats;
bullocks, sheep, and goats, were the only sorts of beasts, out of which sacrifices were taken, and those that were for burnt offerings were always to be males, and unblemished, see ( Leviticus 1:3 Leviticus 1:10 ) ; but for other offerings, as peace offerings and sin offerings, females might be used, see ( Leviticus 3:1 ) ( 4:32 ) . Fowls are not mentioned, though burnt offerings were of them, because it was not required in them, only of beasts, that they should be males, and without blemish; for, as Jarchi observes, these were not rejected on account of a blemish, only for want of a member.

Levítico 22:19 In-Context

17 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:

18 Habla á Aarón y á sus hijos, y á todos los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cualquier varón de la casa de Israel, ó de los extranjeros en Israel, que ofreciere su ofrenda por todos sus votos, y por todas sus voluntarias oblaciones que ofrecieren á Jehová en holocausto;

19 De vuestra voluntad ofreceréis macho sin defecto de entre las vacas, de entre los corderos, ó de entre las cabras.

20 Ninguna cosa en que haya falta ofreceréis, porque no será acepto por vosotros.

21 Asimismo, cuando alguno ofreciere sacrificio de paces á Jehová para presentar voto, ú ofreciendo voluntariamente, sea de vacas ó de ovejas, sin tacha será acepto; no ha de haber en él falta.
