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 "Now this is the law of the restitution offering; it is especially holy.

2 The restitution offering must be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, and the priest is to sprinkle its blood on all sides of the altar.

3 The offerer must present all the fat from it: the fat tail, the fat surrounding the entrails,

4 and the two kidneys with the fat on them at the loins; he will also remove the fatty lobe of the liver with the kidneys.

5 The priest will burn them on the altar as a fire offering to the Lord; it is a restitution offering.
