7. When once it came before God a-sham (guiltiness) and kha-ta (error or sin) were the same-and this for us is connected with an evil nature. They were not the same as to the act in this, that the kha-ta (error or sin) was a moral thing,
of which the natural conscience and God's moral law took notice. But there are points as to this further on.
9. Though it is said that the meat-offering is for all the sons of Aaron, one as much as another, yet it would seem that in each particular case the offering priest ate it. Compare for the sin-offering chapter 6: 29 and 26. In the peace-offering, both are found: " Aaron and his sons " gives the character of the thing; it was a priestly portion and act.
10. Note this; one was incarnation, perfect manhood, all in the power of the Spirit, ultimately tried by fire; the other stood for a sin-offering.
15. "Shall not lay aside any of it until the morning."
19. This marked a distinctively holy character in the thing eaten.
22. New ordinance. This seems to be on a different ground from the fact of life, save so far as that what were life and its energies were offered to the Lord.
28. New ordinance.
30. It would seem the worshipper brings the fat, and the shoulder for a wave-offering; then the priest burns the fat—but who waved it? And could the worshipper be said to yak-riv (cause to approach) the separated fat and breast? The victim he can, but y'vi-en-mu (he shall bring it) is different.
But even if he eat with others, he must be directly connected with Jehovah in it—his hand must bring it. The fact merely is stated here; in two places they are put upon the hands of the offerer, yet another is said to wave them (Ex. 29:24, 2524And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. 25And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor before the Lord: it is an offering made by fire unto the Lord. (Exodus 29:24‑25); Lev. 8:2727And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord. (Leviticus 8:27)), but in Lev. 9, Aaron waves what he is to have for himself—but he was alone here. The idea is presenting it to God, as consecrated. The Levites were waved (Num. 8). I suspect here the priest waved it; the contrast is with burning the fat.
