Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Leviticus 17:5

_ _ To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field — “They” is supposed by some commentators to refer to the Egyptians, so that the verse will stand thus: “the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they (the Egyptians) offer in the open field.” The law is thought to have been directed against those whose Egyptian habits led them to imitate this idolatrous practice.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 17:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 17:5

They offer — The Israelites, before the building of the tabernacle, did so, from which they are now restrained. Peace — offerings — He nameth not these exclusively from others, as appears from the reason of the law, and from Leviticus 17:8-9, but because in these the temptation was more common in regard of their frequency, and more powerful, because part of these belonged to the offerer, and the pretence was more plausible, because their sanctity was of a lower degree than others, these being only called holy, and allowed in part to the people, whereas the others are called most holy, and were wholly appropriated either to God, or to the priests.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Leviticus 17:5

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the (d) open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them [for] peace offerings unto the LORD.

(d) In that they were moved with foolish devotion to offer it.
