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 This is the Instruction for the compensation offering: It is most holy.
2 The compensation offering must be slaughtered at the same place where the entirely burned offering is slaughtered, and its blood must be tossed against all sides of the altar.
3 All of its fat will be offered: the fat tail; the fat that covers the insides;
4 the two kidneys and the fat around them at the loins; and the lobe on the liver, which must be removed with the kidneys.
5 The priest must burn them completely on the altar as a food gift for the LORD; it is a compensation offering.
