Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 6:30
And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy [place], shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
30. The rule here laid down applies to: (1) the first two cases of the Sin-Offering in Lev 4:3-21, where the place and manner of burning are specified in Lev 6:11-12 ; Lev 6:21; (2) the Sin-Offering on the Day of Atonement (Lev 16:27-28). See note on Lev 10:16-20.

Such were the sacrifices offered for the high priest, or for the whole assembly, either severally, Lev 4:7,18, or jointly for both, in the yearly atonement, Lev 16:27,33.

And no sin [offering], whereof [any] of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy place, shall be eaten,…. Every offering, and so every sin offering, was killed in the court of the tabernacle, on the north side of the altar; and the blood of some of them, as on the day of atonement, was carried within the vail and sprinkled on the mercy seat for reconciling the holy place, and making atonement for it; now the flesh of such sin offerings might not be eaten by the priests, though all others might:
it shall be burnt in the fire. Ben Gersom says, it was burnt in its place in the court, in a place prepared there to burn things rejected, and sanctified; and I think, adds he, this place was on the east side, i.e. of the court; but it is clear from Le 16:27 where the above case is mentioned, that it was to be carried out without the camp, and burnt there. What use the apostle makes of this, applying it to Christ, see Heb 13:11.

30. And no sin-offering. The exception is repeated both with reference to the sacrifices mentioned in the fourth chapter, and also to the solemn sacrifice, whereby the priest and the people were reconciled every year: for private persons individually atoned for their sins at less expense, and only the greater altar, which stood in the court, was sprinkled with blood; but if the priest reconciled God to the whole people, or to himself, in order that the intercession might be more efficacious, he entered the sanctuary to pour out blood on the opposite side of the veil. God now again commands that such victims should be entirely burnt. This passage, then, is nothing but a confirmation of the others in which a like command is given. Hence the Apostle, in an apt allusion, infers that the distinction of meats is abolished; for he says that the minor altar, which under the Law was hidden, is now laid open to us, (Heb 13:10,) and therefore we no longer eat of the legal sacrifices; yea, forasmuch as our One Priest has brought His blood into the sanctuary, it only remains for us to go forth with Him without the camp.

(30) And no sin offering, whereof . . . Better, but no sin offering, &c. The rule set forth in the preceding verse only applies to the sin offerings of the laity (Lev. 4:22, &c.); their flesh fell to the share of the priests, but the flesh of the sin offerings, the blood of which was brought into the tabernacle, to make atonement in the sanctuary, was not to be eaten but to be burnt. Such were the sin offerings for the high priest (Lev. 4:3; Lev. 4:12), and the whole congregation (Lev. 4:13-21), and the sin offering of the Day of Atonement (Lev. 16:27).
To reconcile withal.Better, to make atonement for, as the Authorised Version renders it in Lev. 1:4, and generally wherever it occurs.

30. Blood brought into the tabernacle This refers to the sin offerings for the high priest and for the whole congregation, Lev 4:5; Lev 4:16, the blood of which was brought into the tabernacle and the bodies burnt without the camp. The complete propitiation symbolized by the sprinkled blood and the flesh eaten by the priest could not be effected under the Levitical dispensation. When the flesh was eaten, the blood-sprinkling within the tabernacle was lacking; and when the blood was thus sacrificially treated, eating the flesh was prohibited. For the imperfection in the Old Testament remission of sins, see Introduction, (7.) Jesus Christ made a complete atonement, having carried his blood into the holy place, “the true tabernacle,” and given his flesh to be the bread of eternal life to all believers. Joh 6:32-58.

Lev 6:30. And no sin-offering But no sin-offering, Houbigant renders it, and justly. To reconcile withal, he renders for the expiation of sin; and Dr. Beaumont, to make atonement.
Note; 1. Every Christian, as a spiritual priest, is fed by the sacrifices he offers before the Lord. 2. They who draw near to the table of the Lord, have need to examine themselves, lest by their profane approach the blood of the covenant be found on their garments to condemn them, instead of on their conscience to comfort them.

REFLECTIONS
IN the perusal of this Chapter, still seeking grace to be forever keeping my eye steadily fixed on him, who is the only true, and real sacrifice for sin, and the end of the law, for righteousness to everyone that believeth; I would desire to feel also, the full sense of the baleful malignity of sin, as it must appear in the eye of GOD; whose justice could not remit the penal effects of it, with a less sacrifice than the blood of his dear SON. LORD! keep thy servant from presumptuous sins; and in the common transactions, between man and man, in life, may I be enabled, like him of old, whom the LORD JESUS converted, and called from the customs of this world, to be his follower, in the regeneration; may I say, If I have done any wrong to any man I restore fourfold. But while doing restitution, to the utmost of my power, may I have grace never to seek justification by the deeds of the law, but by the alone blood, and righteousness of GOD my Saviour.
Reader! let us not close the Chapter before that we have bent the knee in praise and thanksgiving to our gracious GOD and FATHER in CHRIST JESUS, for the wonderful provision he hath made both for sins of ignorance and presumption; and indeed the whole mass of evil, by that one glorious offering of the body of JESUS CHRIST once offered, by which he hath forever perfected them that are sanctified. Precious JESUS! may our whole souls be everlastingly looking unto thee, and taking consolation from thee; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to GOD by thy blood.

Lev 6:30 And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in the holy [place], shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
Ver. 30. And no sin offerlng. ] Here the ordinary gloss makes this observation, Remissionem dare, Dei solius est, qui per ignem significatur. That to pardon sin belongs to God alone, who is a consuming fire. The Rhemists a tell us of a man that could remove mountains: of which they may as soon persuade us, as that their priests have as full power to pardon sins as Christ had. One of their priests meeting with a man troubled in mind, told him that their religion afforded more comfort to the conscience than ours; and that because it had, and exercised a power to pardon sin, which our ministers neither did nor durst assume to themselves. b

And = But.
no sin offering . . . shall be eaten. Because the blood was taken into the holy place. Compare Lev 10:16-20. In this case it was to be wholly burnt, Lev 4:26. This explains Heb 13:11.
There were eight offerings to be eaten by the priests in the precincts of the holy place:
(1) The flesh of the sin offering (Lev 4:26; Lev 6:26).
(2) The flesh of the trespass offering (Lev 7:6).
(3) The peace offering of the congregation (Lev 7:14, Lev 7:15).
(4) The remainder of the ‘omer (Lev 2:3-10).
(5) The meal offering of the Israelites (Lev 2:3-10).
(6) The two loaves (Lev 13:19, Lev 13:20; Lev 23:20).
(7) The shewbread (Lev 23:9).
(8) The leper’s log of oil (Lev 14:10-13).
