Now this is the law
The phrase "Now this is the law" introduces a specific set of divine instructions given to the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "law" here is "תּוֹרָה" (torah), which means instruction or teaching. In the context of Leviticus, it refers to the detailed guidelines God provided to Moses for the Israelites' worship and sacrificial system. This underscores the importance of divine order and obedience in the life of God's people. The law serves as a guide to holiness and a means to maintain a covenant relationship with God.

of the guilt offering
The "guilt offering," or "אָשָׁם" (asham) in Hebrew, is a specific type of sacrifice. It is distinct from other offerings because it addresses unintentional sins that require restitution. The guilt offering emphasizes the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement and reconciliation with God and others. Historically, this offering involved a ram without blemish, symbolizing the need for purity and the costliness of sin. It points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who bore our guilt and provided the perfect atonement.

it is most holy
The phrase "it is most holy" highlights the sacredness of the guilt offering. The Hebrew term "קֹדֶשׁ קָדָשִׁים" (qodesh qadashim) translates to "most holy," indicating the highest level of sanctity. This designation means that the offering is set apart for God and must be handled with utmost reverence and care. In the broader scriptural context, this holiness reflects God's own nature and His call for His people to be holy. It serves as a reminder of the reverence due to God and the seriousness with which His commands should be approached.

VII.

(1) Likewise this is the law . . . . --Better, and this is the law:, &c. Just as Leviticus 6:24-30 contains additional regulations addressed to the priest about the rites of the sin offering, so Leviticus 7:1-10 gives more precise instructions about the trespass offering, supplementing Leviticus 5:1-13, also designed for the guidance of the priest.

Verses 1-6. - Further ritual of the trespass offering (see note on Leviticus 5:14). It is to be noted that the blood of the trespass offering is not to be placed on the horns of the altar, as was the rule in the ordinary sin offering, but cast against the inner side of the altar, as in the burnt offering and peace offering. The rump in verse 3 should be translated tail, as in chapter Leviticus 3:9.
