Leviticus Chapter 6

Leviticus 6  •  2 min. read  •  grade level: 5
 
5. (Hebrew 5:24). "To him shall he give it in the day of his trespass-offering"—I apprehend. The offering itself was brought to the Lord.
8. (Hebrew 6:1). New ordinance.
9. (Hebrew 2). The English and universal ancient versions (Septuagint and others more or less precise) give " burning " not " place of burning," which Gesenius and the other dictionaries give. If these be right then al (upon) must be taken as upon the place (or mass) of burning (stuff) on the altar all the night. Arias Montanus gives super ustionem. The sense would be the same; it would affirm the fact; " this is " (or I mean " that is " as often) the burnt-offering on the burning pile or place on the altar all the night, and it may be so. It is the only place the word is found. I know not that be (upon it, in the masculine) instead of bah (upon it, in the feminine) would make any real difficulty; also it might be the altar.
19. New ordinance.
22. (Hebrew 15). Christ Himself was wholly offered; He had no nourishment in this sense, but doing the will of His Father; we have Him to feed on.
23. (Hebrew 16). It shall be wholly an offering, burnt no doubt, but it gives its character by the word ka-til (wholly).
26. (Hebrew 19). Note that the court of the 0-hel Mo-ed (tabernacle of the congregation) is called here a holy place.
30. (Hebrew 23). The force of b' (in) here. The accents, I suppose, make it to make propitiation in the Holy place. De Wette joins it with " shall not be eaten "; but surely that is not so. Once (chapter 17: 11) we have b' (for) after ka-phar (to cover, atone) but this is, I think, abstract for souls; i.e., in the case or matter of souls. The English version would be right. Is bak-ko-desh (in the Holy place) ever used for holy place? We have had b'ma-kom ka-dosh (in the holy place) as verses 26 and 27 (Hebrew 19 and 20).
