How preachers through history handled this text
9 public-domain excerpts on Leviticus 7, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“As to the peace-offerings, in the expression of their sense of mercy, God left them more at liberty, than in the expression of their sense of sin; that their sacrifices, being free-will offerings, might be the more acceptable, while, by obliging them to bring the sacrifices of atonement, God shows the necessity of the great Propitiation. The main reason why blood was forbidden of old, was because the Lord had appointed blood for an atonement. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Leviticus 7:11–27 (Public Domain)
