John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 6. And he shall bring his trespass [offering] unto the Lord , etc.] That is, to the tabernacle of the Lord, to the altar of the Lord in it, and to his priest ministering therein, as it follows: a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass [offering] unto the priest ; the same offering that was ordered for a trespass through ignorance, ( Leviticus 5:16) typical of the sacrifice of Christ offered up both for sins of ignorance and wilful transgressions, for his blood cleanses from all sin, (see Gill on “ Leviticus 5:16”); the phrase “with thy estimation”, used there also ( Leviticus 5:16), is here interpreted by Ben Gersom of two shekels, the value the ram was to be of, brought for the trespass offering.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Though all the instances relate to our neighbour, yet it is called trespass against the Lord. Though the person injured be mean, and eve despicable, yet the injury reflects upon that God who has made the command of loving our neighbour next to that of loving himself. Huma laws make a difference as to punishments; but all methods of doin wrong to others, are alike violations of the Divine law, even keepin what is found, when the owner can be discovered. Frauds are generall accompanied with lies, often with false oaths. If the offender woul escape the vengeance of God, he must make ample restitution, accordin to his power, and seek forgiveness by faith in that one Offering whic taketh away the sin of the world. The trespasses here mentioned, stil are trespasses against the law of Christ, which insists as much upo justice and truth, as the law of nature, or the law of Moses.
