Contextual Overview

1The Lord spoke to Moses: 2“Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy. 3“Each of you is to respect his mother and father. You are to keep my Sabbaths; I am the Lord your God. 4Do not turn to idols or make cast images of gods for yourselves; I am the Lord your God. 5“When you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 6It is to be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day, but what remains on the third day must be burned. 7If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted. 8Anyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people. 9“When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10Do not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the resident alien; I am the Lord your God.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

a sacrifice: Leviticus 3:1-17, Leviticus 7:16, Leviticus 22:21, Exodus 24:5, 2 Chronicles 31:2, Ezekiel 45:15-17, Ezekiel 46:2, Ezekiel 46:12, Ephesians 2:13, Ephesians 2:14

ye shall: Leviticus 1:3, Leviticus 22:19, Leviticus 22:23, Leviticus 22:29

your own will: The Hebrews had several kinds of offerings, which they called corban. Some were free-will offerings, and others were of obligation. The first fruits, the tenths, the sin-offerings, were of obligation; the peace-offerings, vows, offerings of oil, wine, bread, and other things which were made to the temple, or to the ministers of the Lord, were offerings of devotion; these constituted the greater part. They indeed were a shadow of good things to come, which we enjoy in full fruition through THE ONE great SACRIFICE, even Jesus Christ. Aaron must lay his robes away

His mitre and his vest,

When God himself comes down to be

The offering and the priest. "

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord,.... Which were of three sorts, a thanksgiving, a vow, and a voluntary offering, Leviticus 7:11; the latter seems to be here meant, as appears by what follows:

ye shall offer it at your own will; a voluntary freewill offering, of their own accord, and not by force, as Aben Ezra; and in such offerings they were left to their liberty to offer what they pleased, it might be of the flock, or of the herd, a male or a female, Leviticus 3:1. The Targum of Jonathan is

"for your acceptation;''

that is, that should be offered, and in such a manner as to be accepted of you with God; which sense is countenanced by Leviticus 19:7; and becomes acceptable, when what follows about eating them is attended to.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Rather, ye shall offer it that you may be accepted.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
