Leviticus 5:19

_AND IF A SOUL SIN, AND COMMIT ANY OF THESE THINGS WHICH ARE FORBIDDEN TO BE DONE BY THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD; THOUGH HE WIST IT NOT, YET IS HE GUILTY, AND SHALL BEAR HIS INIQUITY._ If a soul sin ... though he wist it not. This also refers to holy things, and it differs from the preceding in being one of the doubtful cases - i:e., where conscience suspects, though the understanding be in doubt, whether criminality or sin has been committed. The Jewish Rabbis give as an example the case of a person who, knowing that "the fat of the inward" is not to be eaten, religiously abstained from the use of it; but should a dish happen to have been at table, in which he had reason to suspect some portion of that meat was intermingled, and he had inadvertently partaken of that unlawful viand, he was bound to bring a ram as a trespass offering. These provisions were all designed to impress the co...

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 5:19. _HE HATH CERTAINLY TRESPASSED_] And because he hath sinned, therefore he must bring a sacrifice. On no other _ground_ shall he be accepted by the Lord. Reader, how dost thou stand in the sight of thy Maker? ON the subject of this chapter it may be proper to make the following reflections. When the infinite purity and strict justice of God are considered, the exceeding breadth of his commandment, our slowness of heart to believe, and our comparatively cold performance of sacred duties, no wonder that there is sinfulness found in our _holy things_; and at what a low ebb must the Christian life be found when this is the case! This is a sore and degrading evil in the Church of God; but there is one even worse than this, that is, the strenuous endeavour of many religious people to reconcile their minds to this state o

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

IT [IS] A TRESPASS [OFFERING],.... An offering for a trespass committed: HE HATH CERTAINLY TRESPASSED AGAINST THE LORD; though committed ignorantly, and therefore an offering must be brought; for no sin of any kind must be overlooked, passed by, or forgiven, without a sacrifice, or without atonement made by sacrifice: or, "he shall offer a trespass offering to the Lord", or before the Lord, as Onkelos; or before the Word of the Lord, as Jonathan; and Maimonides out of Siphri g observes, that whereas it is said, a trespass or trespass offering to the Lord, it was not lawful for the priests to eat of it. g Maimon. in Misn. Temurah, c. 7. sect. 6....

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

TRESPASSED. Hebrew. _'asham._ App-44. Compare Leviticus 5:17....

(_b_) 17 19. _if any one sin, and do any of the things which the Lord hath commanded not to be done_ The description of the sin in this case is the same as that in Leviticus 4:2; Leviticus 4:13; Leviticus 4:22; Leviticus 4:27. In what respect do these sins (which here require a Guilt-Offering) differ from those in ch. 4 for which a Sin-Offering is prescribed? The difference is indicated in the words -though he knew (-wist" A.V.) _it_not." They are not the same as the Heb. expression rendered _unwittingly_(_concerning his ignorance_A.V.), for in...

IT IS A TRESPASS-OFFERING— Houbigant renders this, _such shall be the trespass-offering: whosoever shall_ [thus] _sin against the Lord, shall offer a trespass-offering._ Those who refer to the Hebrew here, will not wonder to find a variety in the versions of it. REFLECTIONS.—As sacrilege is a very heinous sin, a more costly atonement is enjoined for it. Whoever through ignorance withheld the tythes or offerings due to the sanctuary, or any holy things dedicated to God;—when he found it out, he was required to bring a ram for an offering, and the whole value of the thing in money, and a fifth part over. _Note;_ To make restitution for injustice, is a very mortifying exercise: but there can be no hope of pardon, while the wages of unrighteousness is kept back....
