The "house of Israel" refers to the entire community of Israelites, emphasizing their collective identity and responsibility under the covenant with God. This covenant relationship is foundational, as seen in <a href="/exodus/19-5.htm">Exodus 19:5-6</a>, where God calls Israel a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation."<p><b>or any foreigner living among them</b><br>The inclusion of "any foreigner" highlights the presence of non-Israelites within the community, often referred to as "sojourners" or "strangers." This reflects the inclusive nature of God's laws, which applied not only to ethnic Israelites but also to those who chose to live among them and worship Yahweh. This provision underscores the universal scope of God's covenant, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/56-6.htm">Isaiah 56:6-7</a>, which speaks of foreigners joining themselves to the Lord.<p><b>offers a burnt offering or a sacrifice</b><br>Burnt offerings and sacrifices were central to Israelite worship, serving as means of atonement and expressions of devotion to God. The burnt offering, or "olah," was entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing complete surrender to God (Leviticus 1).

The law enacted in these two verses requires that all legitimate sacrifices should henceforth be presented in the appointed sanctuary, which was the centre of national unity, thus abolishing the liberty which, in accordance with patriarchal practice, had hitherto existed, that every head of a family could be his own priest, and offer up sacrifices wherever and whenever he liked. The commonwealth of Israel were now to acknowledge one altar, one high priest, and one sanctuary. This law was binding not only upon the Israelite by race, but upon strangers who took up their abode in and joined the Jewish community. For wilfully violating this law the offender incurred the penalty of excision.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/leviticus/17.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 8, 9.</span> - So essential is the regulation to the maintenance of the Israelitish polity, that it is extended to <span class="cmt_word">the strangers which sojourn among them,</span> not confined to those who were <span class="cmt_word">of the house of Israel</span>; and the penalty of excommunication is appointed for both classes alike in case of disobedience.
