Leviticus Chapter 1

“And the Lord called unto Moses, etc.] Or “met him”, as the phrase is rendered in (<042304>Numbers 23:4). The word arqyw, translated “called”, the last letter of it is written in a very small character, to show, as the Jews f2 say, that he met him accidentally, and unawares to Moses: other mysteries they observe in it, as that it respects the modesty of Moses, who lessened himself, and got out of the way, that he might not have the government laid upon him, and therefore the Lord called him; or to denote the wonderful condescension of the Lord, whose throne is in heaven, and yet vouchsafed to dwell in the…”

“BURNT OFFERINGS OF THE HERD. (Lev. 1:1-17) 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.”

“The Lord - In the Hebrew text of Leviticus, Jehovah יהוה yehovâh is the name by which God is usually called. Where אלהים 'ĕlohı̂ym occurs, it is generally with a possessive pronoun, so as to designate Him as the God of the chosen people (Leviticus 2:13; Leviticus 11:45; Leviticus 18:21; Leviticus 19:12, Leviticus 19:14, Leviticus 19:32, etc.). The tabernacle of the congregation - Rather, the tent of meeting. See Exodus 22:21 note. When Jehovah (Yahweh) was about to give His people the Law of the Ten Commandments Exodus 19:3 He called to Moses from the top of Mount Sinai in thunders and lightnings and a thick…”

“Moses - Stood without, Exo 40:35, waiting for God's call. The tabernacle - From the mercy - seat in the tabernacle. Leviticus 1:2”

“1:1–7:38 The first major section of Leviticus deals with the institution of the sacrificial system and the priesthood. The sacrifices were either for atonement (the whole burnt offering, sin offering, and guilt offering) or for worship (grain offering and peace offering). Each one taught theology through a hands-on approach. Priests were required to officiate in the sacrificial worship at the Tabernacle, to instruct God’s people in the revelation given to Moses at Sinai, and to represent the people before God, such as on the Day of Atonement (ch 16). Priests were provided for by receiving a portion of the…”

“called: Exo 19:3, Exo 24:1, Exo 24:2, Exo 24:12, Exo 29:42; Joh 1:17 out of: Exo 25:22, Exo 33:7, Exo 39:32, Exo 40:34, Exo 40:35 Leviticus 1:2”

“The Burnt-Offering. - Lev 1:2. "If any one of you present an offering to Jehovah of cattle, ye shall present your offering from the herd and from the flock." קרבּן (Corban, from הקריב to cause to draw near, to bring near, or present, an offering) is applied not only to the sacrifices, which were burned either in whole or in part upon the altar ( Lev 7:38; Num 18:9; Num 28:2, etc.), but to the first-fruits ( Lev 2:12), and dedicatory offerings, which were presented to the Lord for His sanctuary and His service without being laid upon the altar ( Num 7:3, Num 7:10., Num 31:50). The word is only used in Leviticus…”
