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 el SEÑOR habló a Moisés, diciendo:

18 Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos y a todos los hijos de Israel, y diles: "Cualquier hombre de la casa de Israel o de los forasteros en Israel, que presente su ofrenda, ya sea de sus ofrendas votivas o de sus ofrendas voluntarias, las cuales presenta al SEÑOR como holocausto,

19 para que os sea aceptada, ésta debe ser macho sin defecto del ganado, de los corderos o de las cabras.

20 "Lo que tenga defecto, no ofreceréis, porque no os será aceptado.

21 "Cuando alguno ofrezca sacrificio de ofrenda de paz al SEÑOR para cumplir un voto especial o como ofrenda voluntaria, del ganado o del rebaño, tiene que ser sin defecto para ser aceptado; no habrá imperfección en él.
