Leviticus 6:30

Lev 6:30 And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy [place], shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.

Ver. 30. And no sin offerlng.] Here the ordinary gloss makes this observation, Remissionem dare, Dei solius est, qui per ignem significatur. That to pardon sin belongs to God alone, who is a consuming fire. The Rhemists {a} tell us of a man that could remove mountains: of which they may as soon persuade us, as that their priests have as full power to pardon sins as Christ had. One of their priests meeting with a man troubled in mind, told him that their religion afforded more comfort to the conscience than ours; and that because it had, and exercised a power to pardon sin, which our ministers neither did nor durst assume to themselves. {b}

6:30 Some sin offerings for the anointed priest and for the entire congregation were not to be eaten. The blood of these offerings was carried into the Holy Place and sprinkled before the curtain (see 4:1-21). The sacrifices that could be eaten were those for the lay leader and for the common people. The blood of these animals was poured on and around the base of the altar in the courtyard of the Tabernacle (see 4:22-35).

(30) And no sin offering, whereof . . . —Better, but no sin offering, &c. The rule set forth in the preceding verse only applies to the sin offerings of the laity (Lev_4:22, &c.); their flesh fell to the share of the priests, but the flesh of the sin offerings, the blood of which was brought into the tabernacle, “to make atonement in the sanctuary,” was not to be eaten but to be burnt. Such were the sin offerings for the high priest (Lev_4:3; Lev_4:12), and the whole congregation (Lev_4:13-21), and the sin offering of the Day of Atonement (Lev_16:27).

To reconcile withal.—Better, to make atonement for, as the Authorised Version renders it in Lev_1:4, and generally wherever it occurs.

30. The rule here laid down applies to: (1) the first two cases of the Sin-Offering in Lev_4:3-21, where the place and manner of burning are specified in Lev_6:11-12; Lev_6:21; (2) the Sin-Offering on the Day of Atonement (Lev_16:27-28). See note on Lev_10:16-20.

30. Blood… brought into the tabernacle — This refers to the sin offerings for the high priest and for the whole congregation, Lev_4:5; Lev_4:16, the blood of which was brought into the tabernacle and the bodies burnt without the camp. The complete propitiation symbolized by the sprinkled blood and the flesh eaten by the priest could not be effected under the Levitical dispensation. When the flesh was eaten, the blood-sprinkling within the tabernacle was lacking; and when the blood was thus sacrificially treated, eating the flesh was prohibited. For the imperfection in the Old Testament remission of sins, see Introduction, (7.) Jesus Christ made a complete atonement, having carried his blood into the holy place, “the true tabernacle,” and given his flesh to be the bread of eternal life to all believers. Joh_6:32-58.
