Leviticus 19:21 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 19:21

He shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord
To the priest of the Lord, to offer it for him; he, and not she, as the Targum of Jonathan has it; (See Gill on Leviticus 19:20): unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;
where all offerings were to be brought, ( Leviticus 17:4 Leviticus 17:5 ) ; [even] a ram for a trespass offering;
which was the usual creature for such a sacrifice, ( Leviticus 5:15 Leviticus 5:18 ) ( 6:6 ) ; the woman was not obliged to bring any, she being a bondmaid; and so having nothing of her own, but what was her master's, her circumstances are considered, and scourging was sufficient.

20 “If a man has sex with a slave girl whose freedom has never been purchased but who is committed to become another man’s wife, he must pay full compensation to her master. But since she is not a free woman, neither the man nor the woman will be put to death.

23 “When you enter the land and plant fruit trees, leave the fruit unharvested for the first three years and consider it forbidden. Do not eat it.
