Commentaries on Leviticus 1:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1And the Lord called unto Moses - From the manner in which this book commences, it appears plainly to be a continuation or the preceding; and indeed the whole is but one law, though divided into five portions, and why thus divided is not easy to be conjectured. Previously to the erection of the tabernacle God had given no particular directions concerning the manner of offering the different kinds of sacrifices; but as soon as this Divine structure was…Read the comment

It is part of the history of God's saving actions. God chose Israel to be his people. He freed them from slavery in Egypt. Then, he made a covenant (special agreement) with them. Finally, God led them through the desert to the land promised to Abraham and his descendants…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-17Commentary by Robert Jamieson 1. the Lord ... spake ... out of the tabernacle--The laws that are contained in the previous record were delivered either to the people publicly from Sinai, or to Moses privately, on the summit of that mountain; but on the completion of the tabernacle, the remainder of the law was announced to the Hebrew leader by an audible voice from the divine glory, which surmounted the mercy seat.Read the comment
