This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Of Sin-offerings.
v. 24. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
v. 25. Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin-offering: in the place where the burnt offering is killed, on the north side of the altar, in the court of the Tabernacle, shall the sin-offering be killed before the Lord; it is most holy, set apart for the Lord.
v. 26. The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it, that is, all but the fat of the abdominal cavity and the kidneys, unless it was specifically ordered that the entire animal had to he burned outside the camp; in the Holy Place shall it be eaten, in the court of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
v. 27. Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy (Cf v. 18);and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the Holy Place. So strict was the Law in this case that the priest had to have the dress of the worshiper washed before he left the court of the Sanctuary, in case any of the blood of the sacrificial animal was spattered on it. The entire animal with its blood belonged to the Lord, and not even a drop of the latter could he carried out of the Sanctuary on the garment of the worshiper.
v. 28. But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken, since the blood and the juices of the flesh would he absorbed by the unglazed material; and if it be sodden in a brazen pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water, so that no particle of the sacrifice would cling to it.
v. 29. All the males among the priests shall eat thereof; it is most holy.
v. 30. And no sin-offering whereof any of the blood is brought in to the Tabernacle of the Congregation to reconcile withal in the Holy Place, as in the sin-offering for the priest and for the entire congregation, also on the Day of Atonement, Leviticus 4; Lev_16:27, shall be eaten; it shall be burnt in the fire. Also in this respect the sin-offering for the whole congregation was a type of Christ, who suffered for our sins without the gate, Heb_13:11-12.
