Chapter 7 The guilt (trespass) offering
The fellowship
offering could be brought (1) as an act of thanksgiving (vv.12-15) for
deliverance, answers to prayer, healing, and so on, (2) in connection with a
vow (votive offering) relative to a past or future favor (vv.16-17), or (3)
purely as a freewill, voluntary act (vv.16-17). The thanksgiving peace offering
had to be eaten the same day it was offered; the vow or voluntary offerings
might be eaten that day and the day following, but not left till the third
day. Verses
22-27, the fat of sacrificial animals was the Lord’s portion, and blood was not
to be eaten under any circumstances. In a wave offering (vv.30-31), the breast
of the animal was waved or moved back and forth, toward and away from the
altar, as a symbol of presenting the offering to God and of His returning it to
the priest. The contribution ( or heave offering) (v.32) consisted of heaving the right shoulder of
the animal up and down, symbolically setting it aside as a contribution to God
for the use of the priests.
1 Likewise this is the law of the
trespass offering: it is most holy.
2 In the place where they kill the
burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof
shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
3 And he shall offer of it all the
fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
4 And the two kidneys, and the fat
that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
5 And the priest shall burn them
upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass
offering.
6 Every male among the priests shall
eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
7 As the sin offering is, so is the
trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement
therewith shall have it.
8 And the priest that offereth any
man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the
burnt offering which he hath offered.
9 And all the meat offering that is
baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan,
shall be the priest's that offereth it.
10 And every meat offering, mingled
with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
11 And this is the law of the
sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.
12 If he offer it for a
thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened
cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes
mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer
for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace
offerings.
14 And of it he shall offer one out
of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the
priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of
his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is
offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering
be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he
offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be
eaten:
17 But the remainder of the flesh of
the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
18 And if any of the flesh of the
sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not
be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be
an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
19 And the flesh that toucheth any
unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the
flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.
20 But the soul that eateth of the
flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having
his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21 Moreover the soul that shall
touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or
any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace
offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from
his people.
22 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
23 Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
24 And the fat of the beast that
dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in
any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
25 For whosoever eateth the fat of
the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the
soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
26 Moreover ye shall eat no manner
of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth
any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
28 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
29 Speak unto the children of
Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the
LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace
offerings.
30 His own hands shall bring the
offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring,
that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
31 And the priest shall burn the fat
upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
32 And the right shoulder shall ye
give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace
offerings.
33 He among the sons of Aaron, that
offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right
shoulder for his part.
34 For the wave breast and the heave
shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of
their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his
sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
35 This is the portion of the
anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of
the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the
LORD in the priest's office;
36 Which the LORD commanded to be
given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a
statute for ever throughout their generations.
37 This is the law of the burnt
offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass
offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace
offerings;
38 Which the LORD commanded Moses in
mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their
oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
Chapter 8 Through the Priests, the consecration to
priestly service
Moses
was not to carry out the instructions given in Ex.28-29 for the consecratin of
the priests. THe elaborate ritual was performed in the presence of all the
people. Verse 14, Moses first offered a sin offering on behalf of Aaron and his
sons (the laying of their hands on the animal indicated their identification
with it). Moses next offered a burnt offering.(v.18). The final major offering
was that of ordination, not mentioned elsewhere, though similar to the
fellowship offering. The Hebrew name for it literally means “ fillings” and
signified the investing of Aaron and his ons with their office. The wave
offering could not be eaten by Aaron and his sons because it was made on their
behalf.(vv.27-29). The same offerings were repeated daily for seven days while
Aaron and his sons remained in the court of the taberanacle.
1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Take Aaron and his
sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the
sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
3 And gather thou all
the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And Moses did as the
LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
5 And Moses said unto
the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
6 And Moses brought
Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
7 And he put upon him
the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and
put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod,
and bound it unto him therewith.
8 And he put the
breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
9 And he put the mitre
upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the
golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
10 And Moses took the
anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and
sanctified them.
11 And he sprinkled
thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels,
both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
12 And he poured of
the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
13 And Moses brought
Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put
bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
14 And he brought the
bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the
head of the bullock for the sin offering.
15 And he slew it; and
Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with
his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the
altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
16 And he took all the
fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two
kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.
17 But the bullock,
and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
18 And he brought the
ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the
head of the ram.
19 And he killed it;
and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
20 And he cut the ram
into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
21 And he washed the
inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it
was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the
LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he brought the
other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands
upon the head of the ram.
23 And he slew it; and
Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear,
and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
24 And he brought
Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and
upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right
feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
25 And he took the
fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul
above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
26 And out of the
basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened
cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and
upon the right shoulder:
27 And he put all upon
Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering
before the LORD.
28 And Moses took them
from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they
were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto the
LORD.
29 And Moses took the
breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of
consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And Moses took of
the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it
upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons'
garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and
his sons' garments with him.
31 And Moses said unto
Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of
consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
32 And that which
remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
33 And ye shall not go
out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the
days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
34 As he hath done
this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
35 Therefore shall ye
abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven
days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
36 So Aaron and his
sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Chapter 9 The inauguration of priestly service
Aaron first offered
a sin offering and a burnt offering for himself (vv.8-14), then he offered a
sin, a burnt, a rain, and a fellowship offering for the people(vv.15-18). These
symbolized (in order)atonement, dedication, sustenance, and communion. Offered
it for a sin offering(v.15). Lit., he sinned it; i.e., he made it sin. This may
have been the start of the fire that was to burn continually (v.24).
1 And it came to pass on the eighth
day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
2 And he said unto Aaron, Take thee
a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without
blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
3 And unto the children of Israel
thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a
calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace
offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil:
for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
5 And they brought that which Moses
commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation
drew near and stood before the LORD.
6 And Moses said, This is the thing
which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall
appear unto you.
7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto
the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an
atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the
people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
8 Aaron therefore went unto the
altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9 And the sons of Aaron brought the
blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the
horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and
the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
11 And the flesh and the hide he
burnt with fire without the camp.
12 And he slew the burnt offering;
and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about
upon the altar.
13 And they presented the burnt
offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them
upon the altar.
14 And he did wash the inwards and
the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
15 And he brought the people's
offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and
slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16 And he brought the burnt
offering, and offered it according to the manner.
17 And he brought the meat offering,
and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt
sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slew also the bullock and the
ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's
sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round
about,
19 And the fat of the bullock and of
the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and
the caul above the liver:
20 And they put the fat upon the
breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
21 And the breasts and the right
shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22 And Aaron lifted up his hand
toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin
offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23 And Moses and Aaron went into the
tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the
glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
24 And there came a fire out from
before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat:
which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Chapter 10 The sacrilege of priestly service:Nadab and Abihu
Unauthorized fire
(v.1) . Nada and Abihu apparently used coals of fire that were not taken from
the brazen altar as prescribed (6:12-13;16:12). It seems, too, that they
offered incense other than at the morning or evening sacrifice (Ex.30:7-8).
Some feel that they were drunk, because a prohibition against drinking
immediately follows their punishment (Lev.10:9)
The fire that killed them came from the cloud of glory that rested
over the cover of the Ark or the Mercy Seat. Though it killed them, it did not
consume their clothes or bodies(v.5). I will show myself holy (v.3). Any
disobedience of God’s commands detracted from His glory. Do not et your hair
become unkempt (v.6), Lit., let not the hair of your heads hand loose. This and
tearing the clothes were signs of mourning (2Sam.15:30) but were forbidden to a
ministering priest (Lev.21:10). The priests were warned against using wine and
other fermented drink (from a word meaning “to inebriate”), in order that their
faculties not be dulled when performing the rituals (v.10) and teaching the
people(v.11; Ezek.44:23).When Moses asked why the sin offering had not been
eaten (6:26), Aaron replied that, because of the death of his two sons, he and
his remaining sons had felt unworthy. Moses accepted the explanation.
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of
Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense
thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
2 And there went out fire from the
LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This
is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh
me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
4 And Moses called Mishael and
Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near,
carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5 So they went near, and carried
them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and
unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend
your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let
your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD
hath kindled.
7 And ye shall not go out from the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil
of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron,
saying,
9 Do not drink wine nor strong
drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations:
10 And that ye may put difference
between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
11 And that ye may teach the
children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the
hand of Moses.
12 And Moses spake unto Aaron, and
unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering
that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without
leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
13 And ye shall eat it in the holy
place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD
made by fire: for so I am commanded.
14 And the wave breast and heave
shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters
with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the
sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 The heave shoulder and the wave
breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it
for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with
thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
16 And Moses diligently sought the
goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with
Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the
sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it
you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before
the LORD?
18 Behold, the blood of it was not
brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy
place, as I commanded.
19 And Aaron said unto Moses,
Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering
before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin
offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
20 And when Moses heard that, he was
content.
