Leviticus 5:16

_AND HE SHALL MAKE AMENDS FOR THE HARM THAT HE HATH DONE IN THE HOLY THING, AND SHALL ADD THE FIFTH PART THERETO, AND GIVE IT UNTO THE PRIEST: AND THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM WITH THE RAM OF THE_ _ TRESPASS OFFERING, AND IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM._ He shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing. The trespass offering was conscience-money paid directly to God, who had been defrauded; but there was an additional payment of a fifth made to the sanctuary or the priest. A fifth was the proportion required to be added in the redemption of 'holy things' (Leviticus 27:13; Leviticus 27:15; Leviticus 27:19)....

16._And he shall make amends for the harm. _Hence it more plainly appears, as I have recently stated, that they, who withheld anything of God’s full right, are said to have sinned “in the holy thing;” since they are commanded to make restitution with the addition of a fifth part. Yet let my readers remember, that those who are compelled to make restitution, are not such as have fraudulently embezzled the sacred things, but those who under some vain pretext have flattered themselves for a time, so as to be unaffected by any conviction of their fault. The object therefore of this sacrifice, was to arouse the people to attention, so that postponing their private advantage, they should freely pay what was due to God. (270) Theirs is but foolish trifling who think that Moses, having before spoken of sins (_peccata _), now prescribes the mode of making expiation for delinquencies (_delicta _),...

14-19 Here are offerings to atone for trespasses against a neighbour. If a man put to his own use unwittingly, any thing dedicated to God, he was to bring this sacrifice. We are to be jealous over ourselves, to ask pardon for the sin, and make satisfaction for the wrong, which we do but suspect ourselves guilty of. The law of God is so very broad, the occasions of sin in this guilty of. The law of God is so very broad, the occasions of sin in this world are so numerous, and we are so prone to evil, that we need to fear always, and to pray always, that we may be kept from sin. Also we should look before us at every step. The true Christian daily pleads guilty before God, and seeks forgiveness through the blood of Christ. And the gospel salvation is so free, that the poorest is not shut out; and so full, that the most burdened conscience may find relief from it. Yet the evil of sin is so d...

Verse Leviticus 5:16. _SHALL MAKE AMENDS_] Make restitution for the wrong he had done according to what is laid down in the preceding verse....

EXPOSITION THE TRESPASS OFFERING (Leviticus 5:14-3, Leviticus 6:1). The new heading with which Leviticus 5:14 begins indicates that it is here and not at Leviticus 5:1 that the section on trespass offerings commences. Sin offerings and trespass offerings are not distinguished from each other in Psalms 40:6; Hebrews 10:8; and the classification of the sins which require one or the other offering has c

AND HE SHALL MAKE AMENDS FOR THE HARM THAT HE HATH DONE IN THE HOLY THING,.... This seems to favour the sense of the word "estimation", in the preceding verse, as understood of the estimate of the damage done in the holy things, which belonged to the priests, for which recompense was to be made according as the damage was valued: AND SHALL ADD THE FIFTH PART THERETO, AND GIVE IT UNTO THE PRIEST; besides paying the whole damage, he was to give a fifth part of the whole to the priest; which was ordered to show the evil nature of the sin of sacrilege, though done ignorantly, and to make men careful and cautious of committing it: the fifth part, according to the Jewish writers f, is the fourth part of that of which a man eats, ("viz." of the holy things,) which is the fifth of the whole; thus, if he eats the value of a penny, he pays the penny and the fourth part of one, and so it is in all...

5. THE TRESPASS OFFERING Chapter S 5:14-6:7 _ 1. The trespass against Jehovah (Leviticus 5:14)_ 2. The trespass against man (Leviticus 6:1) The brief section which gives instruction concerning the trespass offering contains twice the statement, “Jehovah spake unto Moses” (Leviticus 5:14 and Leviticus 6:1). Sin is here looked upon as an injury done. The trespass offering was always a ram without a blemish out of the flock (verses 15, 18; 6:6). First the wrong is mentioned done in holy things of Jehovah or something done against His commands, and secondly, wrongs done against his neighbor, which Jehovah

LEVITICUS 5:14 TO LEVITICUS 6:7. THE TRESPASS OR GUILT OFFERING. This is of two kinds, though the principle of amendment is the same. The first kind is stated vaguely; committing a trespass (the word means acting unfaithfully or treacherously; it is coupled with sinning unwittingly in Leviticus 5:15; Leviticus 5:17). The offence consists in treating what is Yahweh's as if it were not Yahweh's, _i.e._ in-correctness, really unintentional, connected with some offering. If not unintentional, the penalty is different (Numbers 15:30). The offerer i

HARM THAT HE HATH DONE. Hebrew. _chat'a._ App-44. ADD. In trespass in holy things sacrifice comes first (Leviticus 5:15) and addition afterwards. In human affairs the addition comes first (Leviticus 6:5) and sacrifice follows (Leviticus 6:7)....

Leviticus 5:14 to Leviticus 6:7. The Guilt-Offering Three cases where a Guilt-Offering should be brought are here specified: (_a_) 15, 16; if part of what is due to the Lord has been withheld. 15. _commit a trespass_ The Heb. word (_mâ-al_) here and in Leviticus 6:2 is different from that which is rendered -be guilty," -bring guilt," and -guilt offering" (_trespass offering_A.V.) in Leviticus 4:3 to Leviticus 5:7 (_"âshâm_). It means -to deal deceitfully." _in the holy things of the Lord_ i.e.
