Leviticus 7:10 Summary

This verse is telling us that when the Israelites brought grain offerings to God, the priests, who were the sons of Aaron, would get to share them equally among themselves. This was a way for God to provide for the priests, who had dedicated their lives to serving Him, as we see in Numbers 18:8-10. Just like the priests needed food to live, we need spiritual nourishment to live a life that pleases God, as stated in Matthew 4:4. By studying this verse, we can learn about the importance of community, sharing, and trusting in God's provision.

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 7:10

And every meat offering mingled with oil, and dry,.... Rather it should be rendered "or dry" (c); that is, as Jarchi interprets it, that has no oil in it; the meat offering in common, let it be

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:10

And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it. No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 7:10

Dry, without oil, or drink-offering, as those . One as much as another: the sense may be either, 1. That every priest shall have equal right to this, when the course of his ministration comes. But then there was no reason to make so great an alteration of the phrase, nor to make any distinction of the differing kinds of meatofferings, if in both they were to be the priest’ s that offered them, as is expressed , and here, as they say, intended. Or rather, 2. That these were to be equally divided among all the priests. And there was manifest reason for this difference, because these were in greater quantity than the former; and being raw, might more easily and commodiously be divided and reserved for the several priests to dress it in that way which each of them best liked.

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:10

Leviticus 7:10 And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one [as much] as another.Ver. 10. Have, one as much as another.] In their father’ s house was bread enough. "Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priest’ s offices, that I may eat a piece of bread." This the Tirshatha would not suffer those turn-coats to do. But how hard put to it was that poor priest that answered young Pareus, asking him an alms, according to the custom of those times, Nos pauperi fratres, nos nihil habemus, an piscis, an caro, an panis, an misericordia habemus? Vita Parei per Philipp. filium, primo oper. tomo praefixa.

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:10

(10) And every meat offering . . . and dry.—Better, but every meat offering . . . or dry. The only exception to the foregoing rule is the raw flour offering. That is, the voluntary offering of flour which was mingled with oil (Leviticus 2:1), or the poor man’s sin offering, which, though resembling a meat offering, had no oil put upon it (see Leviticus 5:11), and the offering of jealousy (Numbers 5:15). Shall all the sons of Aaron have.—That is, whether with or without oil, the remainder of this kind of raw offering is to be equally shared by all the priests. One as much as another.—Literally, a man as his brother; that is, every man alike. From the expression man, which, as it will thus be seen, is used in the original but does not appear in the Authorised Version, the rule obtained in the time of Christ that neither a child nor woman, though of priestly descent, could partake of this offering; but a priest who was disqualified from officiating through a physical blemish had a share in it, as he comes under the designation of man.

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 7:10

(5) The Guilt-Offering. Priestly portions of other offerings (Leviticus 7:1-10) The similarity between the Guilt-Offering and the Sin-Offering is very close (see Leviticus 7:7). Both are ‘most holy’ and to be killed in the same place (Leviticus 6:25, cp. Leviticus 7:1-2). The parts to be burned on the altar are the same (Leviticus 3:4; Leviticus 3:9-11, Leviticus 4:31; Leviticus 4:35, cp. Leviticus 7:3-5), but note that the word ‘food,’ Heb. léhem, of Leviticus 3:11; Leviticus 3:16 is not applied to the Guilt-Offering, and the remainder is to be eaten in the same manner (Leviticus 6:26; Leviticus 6:29, cp. Leviticus 7:6-7).
