John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 5. To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they offer in the open field , etc.] Which, before the tabernacle was erected, they were used to offer there, as it was lawful for them to do, and on high places, but now unlawful; though sometimes this was dispensed with by the Lord, and was done by some of his prophets, as Samuel, David, and Elijah, though not by priests: even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest ; by whom they were to be offered, and by him only, and which is a principal reason why they were ordered to be brought thither: and offer them [for] peace offerings unto the Lord ; which though only mentioned, include all others. These are only taken notice of because most frequent, and because most profitable to the people, having a part of them; wherefore if these were to be brought to the tabernacle, which came the nearest of any to their meals and feasts in their own houses, then much more burnt offerings, and sin offerings, in which the Lord, had so great a concern.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - Here is a confirmation of the law against eating blood. They must ea no blood. But this law was ceremonial, and is now no longer in force the coming of the substance does away the shadow. The blood of beast is no longer the ransom, but Christ's blood only; therefore there is not now the reason for abstaining there then was. The blood is no allowed for the nourishment of our bodies; it is no longer appointed to make an atonement for the soul. Now the blood of Christ makes atonemen really and effectually; to that, therefore, we must have regard, an not consider it as a common thing, or treat it with indifference _________________________________________________
