Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

As the sin offering [is], so [is] the trespass offering: [there is] one (d) law for them: the priest that maketh atonement (e) therewith shall have [it].
(d) The same ceremonies, even though this word trespass signifies less then sin.
(e) Meaning, the rest which is left and not burnt.

As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering, there is one law for them,.... The same as in Leviticus 6:27,
the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it; who by offering it made atonement for the trespass of the person that brings it, as typical of the atonement by the sacrifice of Christ; he was to have all but what was burnt, for himself and his sons; though no doubt but other priests then on duty in the court ate with him.

So is - In the matter following, for in other things they differed. The priests shall have it - That part of it, which was by God allowed to the priest.
