Commentary on Leviticus 3:7

  • Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Leviticus 3:6-17: Directions are here given concerning the peace-offering, if it was a sheep or a goat. Turtle-doves or young pigeons, which might be brought for whole burnt offerings, were not allowed for peace-offerings, because they have no fat considerable enough to be burnt upon the altar; and they would be next to nothing if they were to be divided according to the law of the peace-offerings.
  • John Gill (Reformed Baptist), Exposition of the Old and New Testaments on Leviticus 3:7: If he offer a lamb for his offering,.... Which was of the flock, and must be of the first year; this is a rule laid down by Maimonides (i), that where ever this word is used in the law, it signifies one of the first year: then shall he offer it before the Lord; bring it into the court, and present it to the priest. (i) Maaseh Hakorbanot, c. 1.
  • Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Leviticus 3:6-17: Lev 3:6-17 The same rules apply to the peace-offerings of sheep and goats, except that, in addition to the fat portions, which were to be burned upon the altar in the case of the oxen (Lev 3:3, Lev 3:4) and goats (Lev 3:14, Lev 3:15), the fat tail of the sheep was to be consumed as well.
