Leviticus 5:3

_OR IF HE TOUCH THE UNCLEANNESS OF MAN, WHATSOEVER UNCLEANNESS IT BE THAT A MAN SHALL BE DEFILED WITHAL, AND IT BE HID FROM HIM; WHEN HE KNOWETH OF IT, THEN HE SHALL BE GUILTY._ No JFB commentary on this verse....

1-13 The offences here noticed are, 1. A man's concealing the truth, when he was sworn as a witness to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If, in such a case, for fear of offending one that has been his friend, or may be his enemy, a man refuses to give evidence, or gives it but in part, he shall bear his iniquity. And that is a heavy burden, which, if some course be not taken to get it removed, will sink a man to hell. Let all that are called at any time to be witnesses, think of this law, and be free and open in their evidence, and take heed of prevaricating. An oath of the Lord is a sacred thing, not to be trifled with. 2. A man's touching any thing that was ceremonially unclean. Though his touching the unclean thing only made him ceremonially defiled, yet neglecting to wash himself according to the law, was either carelessness or contempt, and contracted mor...

Special occasions are mentioned on which sin-offerings are to be made with a particular confession of the offence for which atonement is sought Leviticus 5:5. Leviticus 5:1 SWEARING - Adjuration. The case appears to be that of one who has been put upon his oath as a witness by a magistrate, and fails to utter all he has seen and heard (compare the marginal references. and Proverbs 29:24; Numbers 5:21). Leviticus 5:2 Hid from him -...

EXPOSITION THE SIN OFFERING—continued (Leviticus 5:1). The subject of the next thirteen verses is still the sin offering, not the trespass offering, as has been supposed by some. The first six verses state three specific cases for which sin offerings are required, and the remaining seven verses detail the concessions made to poverty in respect to the offerings required. The cases are those of a witness, of one ceremonially defiled, and of one who had sworn thoughtlessly. The concessions granted are two: two turtledoves or young pigeons are allowed instead of a lamb, and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, without oil or frankincense, is allowed instead of the two turtle-doves or young pigeons. The latter concession is the more remarkable as the sacrifice by its means changes its character from a bloody to an unbloody o

OR IF HE TOUCH THE UNCLEANNESS OF MAN,.... The dead body of a man, or the bone of a dead body, or a grave, or any profluvious or menstruous person: WHATSOEVER UNCLEANNESS [IT BE] THAT A MAN SHALL BE DEFILED WITHAL: not morally, but ceremonially: AND IT BE HID FROM HIM; he is not sensible that he has touched any thing ceremonially unclean: WHEN HE KNOWETH [OF IT], THEN HE SHALL BE GUILTY: acknowledge his guilt, and offer a sacrifice for it, as after directed....

4. THE SIN OFFERING Chapter S 4-5:13 _ 1. The second utterance of Jehovah (Leviticus 4:1)_ 2. The sin offering for the high priest (Leviticus 4:3) 3. The sin offering for the congregation (Leviticus 4:13) 4. The sin offering for the ruler (Leviticus 4:22) 5. The sin offering for one of the people (Leviticus 4:27) 6. The sin offering for special inadvertent offences (Leviticus 5:1) The burnt of

SINS FOR WHICH OFFERINGS ARE NECESSARY. The first case is that of one who, when evidence in a trial is called for under a curse, deliberately conceals what he knows (there is no unwittingly here); the crime of silence is paralleled with ceremonial uncleanness. The second case is that arising from contact either with an unclean animal or from other defilement. Further details of these taboos are given in Leviticus 12-15, and a harsher law is found in Numbers 19:13; Numbers 19:20. The third case is that of one who finds that he has not carried out an oath uttered in rashness or thoughtlessness (_cf._ Psalms 15:4). Guilt is regarded as following on discovery; confession must then be made, and the animal to be offered is t

THE SECOND CASE when anyone unwittingly touches an unclean thing. By -beast" is meant a wild animal, by -cattle" one of the herd or of the flock (Leviticus 1:2). _unclean creeping things_ SWARMING things; cp. Leviticus 11:29; Leviticus 11:31. On the distinction between -creeping" and -swarming" things, and the confusion in the renderings of EVV, see _Intr. to Pent_. App. II, pp. 209 f., and _HDB_. i. 518. _the uncleanness of man_ Particular cases are specified in chs. 12 15. For all contact with uncleanness, washing the clothes and bathing the body in water are prescribed in the Chapter s referred to and also in...

TEXT 5:1-13 1 And if any one sin, in that he heareth the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he hath seen or known, if he do not utter _it,_ then he shall bear his iniquity. 2 Or if any one touch any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it be hidden from him, and he be unclean, then he shall be guilty. 3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever his uncleanness be wherewith he is unclean, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty. 4 Or if any one swear rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall utter rashly with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these _things._ 5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these _things,_ tha...
