Leviticus 14:10 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. Two he-lambs - One for a trespass-offering, Leviticus 14:12, the other for a burnt-offering, Leviticus 14:19, Leviticus 14:20.

One ewe-lamb - This was for a sin-offering Leviticus 14:19. Three tenth deals - Three parts of an ephah, or three omers; See all these measures explained in Exodus 16:16 (note). The three tenth deals of flour were for a minchah, meat or gratitude-offering, Leviticus 14:20. The sin-offering was for his impurity; the trespass-offering for his transgression; and the gratitude-offering for his gracious cleansing. These constituted the offering which each was ordered to bring to the priest; see Matthew 8:4.
