John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 8. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering , etc.] The Targum of Jonathan adds here, as before, ``his right hand with strength:” and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation ; in the court, in any part of it; for, as Gersom says, all places were right for this; the man that brought it killed it, or the butcher, as the Targum of Jonathan says here also as on ( Leviticus 3:2): and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar ; upon the four horns of it, (see Gill on “ Leviticus 3:2”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-17 - Here is a law that they should eat neither fat nor blood. As for the fat, it means the fat of the inwards, the suet. The blood was forbidde for the same reason; because it was God's part of every sacrifice. God would not permit the blood that made atonement to be used as a commo thing, Heb 10:29; nor will he allow us, though we have the comfort of the atonement made, to claim for ourselves any share in the honour of making it. This taught the Jews to observe distinction between commo and sacred things; it kept them separate from idolaters. It woul impress them more deeply with the belief of some important mystery is the shedding of the blood and the burning the fat of their solem sacrifices. Christ, as the Prince of peace, "made peace with the bloo of his cross." Through him the believer is reconciled to God; an having the peace of God in his heart, he is disposed to follow peac with all men. May the Lord multiply grace, mercy, and peace, to all wh desire to bear the Christian character _________________________________________________
