BURNT OFFERINGS OF THE HERD. (Lev. 1:1-17)
the Lord . . . spake . . . out of the tabernacle--The laws that are contained in the previous record were delivered either to the people publicly from Sinai, or to Moses privately, on the summit of that mountain; but on the completion of the tabernacle, the remainder of the law was announced to the Hebrew leader by an audible voice from the divine glory, which surmounted the mercy seat. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The Lord - In the Hebrew text of Leviticus, Jehovah יהוה yehovâh is the name by which God is usually called. Where אלהים 'ĕlohı̂ym occurs, it is generally with a possessive pronoun, so as to designate Him as the God of the chosen people (Lev 2:13; Lev 11:45; Lev 18:21; Lev 19:12, Lev 19:14, Lev 19:32, etc.).
The tabernacle of the congregation - Rather, the tent of meeting. See Exo 22:21 note. When Jehovah (Yahweh) was about to give His people the Law of the Ten Commandments Exo 19:3 He called to Moses from the top of Mount Sinai in thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud. When He was now about to give them the laws by which their formal acts of worship were to be regulated, He called to Moses out of the tabernacle which had just been constructed at the foot of the mountain. Exo 25:22. |

| The Burnt-Offering. - Lev 1:2. "If any one of you present an offering to Jehovah of cattle, ye shall present your offering from the herd and from the flock." קרבּן (Corban, from הקריב to cause to draw near, to bring near, or present, an offering) is applied not only to the sacrifices, which were burned either in whole or in part upon the altar (Lev 7:38; Num 18:9; Num 28:2, etc.), but to the first-fruits (Lev 2:12), and dedicatory offerings, which were presented to the Lord for His sanctuary and His service without being laid upon the altar (Num 7:3, Num 7:10., Num 31:50). The word is only used in Leviticus and Numbers, and two passages in Ezekiel (Eze 20:28; Eze 40:43), where it is taken from the books of Moses, and is invariably rendered δῶρον in the lxx (cf. Mar 7:11 "Corban, that is to say a gift"). הבּהמה מן (from the cattle) belongs to the first clause, though it is separated from it by the Athnach; and the apodosis begins with הבּקר מן (from the herd). The actual antithesis to "the cattle" is "the fowl" in Lev 1:14; though grammatically the latter is connected with Lev 1:10, rather than Lev 1:2. The fowls (pigeons) cannot be included in the behemah, for this is used to denote, not domesticated animals generally, but the larger domesticated quadrupeds, or tame cattle (cf. Gen 1:25). |

| Moses - Stood without, Exo 40:35, waiting for God's call. The tabernacle - From the mercy - seat in the tabernacle. |

| And the Lord called unto Moses - From the manner in which this book commences, it appears plainly to be a continuation or the preceding; and indeed the whole is but one law, though divided into five portions, and why thus divided is not easy to be conjectured. Previously to the erection of the tabernacle God had given no particular directions concerning the manner of offering the different kinds of sacrifices; but as soon as this Divine structure was established and consecrated, Jehovah took it as his dwelling place; described the rites and ceremonies which he would have observed in his worship, that his people might know what was best pleasing in his sight; and that, when thus worshipping him, they might have confidence that they pleased him, every thing being done according to his own directions. A consciousness of acting according to the revealed will of God gives strong confidence to an upright mind. |
22 And there I will meet [03259] with thee, and I will commune [01696] with thee from above the mercy seat [03727], from between [0996] the two [08147] cherubims [03742] which are upon [05921] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], of all things which I will give thee in commandment [06680] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
3 And Moses [04872] went up [05927] unto God [0430], and the LORD [03068] called [07121] unto him out of the mountain [02022], saying [0559], Thus shalt thou say [0559] to the house [01004] of Jacob [03290], and tell [05046] the children [01121] of Israel [03478];
21 Thou shalt neither vex [03238] a stranger [01616], nor oppress [03905] him: for ye were strangers [01616] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].
32 Thou shalt rise up [06965] before [06440] the hoary head [07872], and honour [01921] the face [06440] of the old man [02205], and fear [03372] thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068].
14 Thou shalt not curse [07043] the deaf [02795], nor put [05414] a stumblingblock [04383] before [06440] the blind [05787], but shalt fear [03372] thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068].
12 And ye shall not swear [07650] by my name [08034] falsely [08267], neither shalt thou profane [02490] the name [08034] of thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068].
21 And thou shalt not [05414] let any of thy seed [02233] pass [05674] through the fire to Molech [04432], neither shalt thou profane [02490] the name [08034] of thy God [0430]: I am the LORD [03068].
45 For I am the LORD [03068] that bringeth [05927] you up out of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], to be your God [0430]: ye shall therefore be holy [06918], for I am holy [06918].
13 And every oblation [07133] of thy meat offering [04503] shalt thou season [04414] with salt [04417]; neither shalt thou suffer the salt [04417] of the covenant [01285] of thy God [0430] to be lacking [07673] from thy meat offering [04503]: with all thine offerings [07133] thou shalt offer [07126] salt [04417].
25 And God [0430] made [06213] the beast [02416] of the earth [0776] after his kind [04327], and cattle [0929] after their kind [04327], and every thing that creepeth [07431] upon the earth [0127] after his kind [04327]: and God [0430] saw [07200] that it was good [02896].
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, If any man [0120] of you bring [07126] an offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], ye shall bring [07126] your offering [07133] of the cattle [0929], even of the herd [01241], and of the flock [06629].
10 And if his offering [07133] be of the flocks [06629], namely, of the sheep [03775], or of the goats [05795], for a burnt sacrifice [05930]; he shall bring [07126] it a male [02145] without blemish [08549].
14 And if the burnt sacrifice [05930] for his offering [07133] to the LORD [03068] be of fowls [05775], then he shall bring [07126] his offering [07133] of turtledoves [08449], or of young [01121] pigeons [03123].
11 But [1161] ye [5210] say [3004], If [1437] a man [444] shall say [2036] to his father [3962] or [2228] mother [3384], It is Corban [2878], that is to say [3603], a gift [1435], by [1537] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou mightest be profited by [5623] me [1700]; he shall be free.
43 And within [01004] were hooks [08240], an [0259] hand [02948] broad, fastened [03559] round about [05439]: and upon the tables [07979] was the flesh [01320] of the offering [07133].
28 For when I had brought [0935] them into the land [0776], for the which I lifted up [05375] mine hand [03027] to give [05414] it to them, then they saw [07200] every high [07311] hill [01389], and all the thick [05687] trees [06086], and they offered [02076] there their sacrifices [02077], and there they presented [05414] the provocation [03708] of their offering [07133]: there also they made [07760] their sweet [05207] savour [07381], and poured out [05258] there their drink offerings [05262].
50 We have therefore brought [07126] an oblation [07133] for the LORD [03068], what every man [0376] hath gotten [04672], of jewels [03627] of gold [02091], chains [0685], and bracelets [06781], rings [02885], earrings [05694], and tablets [03558], to make an atonement [03722] for our souls [05315] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
10 And the princes [05387] offered [07126] for dedicating [02598] of the altar [04196] in the day [03117] that it was anointed [04886], even the princes [05387] offered [07126] their offering [07133] before [06440] the altar [04196].
3 And they brought [0935] their offering [07133] before [06440] the LORD [03068], six [08337] covered [06632] wagons [05699], and twelve [06240] oxen [01241]; a wagon [05699] for two [08147] of the princes [05387], and for each one [0259] an ox [07794]: and they brought [07126] them before [06440] the tabernacle [04908].
12 As for the oblation [07133] of the firstfruits [07225], ye shall offer [07126] them unto the LORD [03068]: but they shall not be burnt [05927] on the altar [04196] for a sweet [05207] savour [07381].
2 Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, My offering [07133], and my bread [03899] for my sacrifices made by fire [0801], for a sweet [05207] savour [07381] unto me, shall ye observe [08104] to offer [07126] unto me in their due season [04150].
9 This shall be thine of the most [06944] holy things [06944], reserved from the fire [0784]: every oblation [07133] of theirs, every meat offering [04503] of theirs, and every sin offering [02403] of theirs, and every trespass offering [0817] of theirs, which they shall render [07725] unto me, shall be most [06944] holy [06944] for thee and for thy sons [01121].
38 Which the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872] in mount [02022] Sinai [05514], in the day [03117] that he commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] to offer [07126] their oblations [07133] unto the LORD [03068], in the wilderness [04057] of Sinai [05514].
2 Speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, If any man [0120] of you bring [07126] an offering [07133] unto the LORD [03068], ye shall bring [07126] your offering [07133] of the cattle [0929], even of the herd [01241], and of the flock [06629].
35 And Moses [04872] was not able [03201] to enter [0935] into the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], because the cloud [06051] abode [07931] thereon, and the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] filled [04390] the tabernacle [04908].
