Leviticus 27:2-13 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When a man shall make a singular vow… This is part of the law concerning singular vows, extraordinary ones; which though God did not expressly insist on, yet if they were consistent and conformable to the general precepts, He would be well pleased with. Note — We should not only ask what must we do, but what may we do, for the glory and honour of God. As the liberal deviseth liberal things (Isaiah 32:8), so the pious deviseth pious things, and the enlarged heart would willingly de something extraordinary in the service of so good a Master as God is. When we receive or expect some singular mercy, it is good to honour God with some singular vow. ( Matthew Henry, D. D..) Parallel Verses KJV: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation. |
