Leviticus 5:6

_AND HE SHALL BRING HIS TRESPASS OFFERING UNTO THE LORD FOR HIS SIN WHICH HE HATH SINNED, A FEMALE FROM THE FLOCK, A LAMB OR A KID OF THE GOATS, FOR A SIN OFFERING; AND THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR HIM CONCERNING HIS SIN._ He shall bring his trespass offering, х_ 'ET_ (H853) _ 'ASHAAMOW_ (H817)]. The 'ashaam and the chaTaat' (see the notes at Leviticus 4:2), though distinguished in the prescriptions of the law (see the note at Leviticus 5:15), were sometimes used indiscriminately, just as, in English, transgressions of the divine law are called sometimes sins and sometimes debts. The material of the expiative ceremonial was the same in these specified examples as was formerly prescri

6._And he shall bring his trespass-offering. _He proceeds with what we have already been considering, as to the removal of guilt by sacrifice; but he begins to make a distinction between the poor and the rich, which distinction applies also to what has gone before; hence it appears that the order is not exactly observed by Moses, since the cases which he inserts seem to interrupt the thread of his discourse; yet the fact remains clear, that whosoever have fallen through error are unclean until they have offered an atonement. But what had been before omitted is here inserted, that the poor and needy are not to be pressed beyond the extent of their means; nay, the different grades of offering are appointed, so that he to whom it was not convenient to offer two turtle-doves, or pigeons, might be quit for a small measure of flour. Hence we infer that God’s only design was to shew the one tru...

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

AND HE SHALL BRING HIS TRESPASS OFFERING UNTO THE LORD, FOR THE SIN WHICH HE HATH SINNED,.... To make atonement for it; this was typical of the sacrifice of Christ, whose soul was made an offering for sin, אשם, "Asham" a trespass offering, Isaiah 53:10 where the same word is used as here: A FEMALE FROM THE FLOCK, A LAMB, OR KID OF THE GOATS, FOR A SIN OFFERING; it is generally thought there was a difference between a trespass offering and a sin offering; but it is not easy to say wherein the difference lies; and what has been observed by learned men is not very satisfactory: and certain it is, that the same offering is here called both a trespass offering and a sin offering; and such as were men of substance, and capable of it, were to bring a female lamb or kid; it being for sins of ignorance, a sacrifice of a less value was admitted; yet it must be a lamb, typical of Ch

TRESPASS OFFERING The trespass-offerings have in view rather the injury which sin does than its guilt - which is the sin-offering aspect. What is due to God's rights in every human being is here meant. (Psalms 51:4); is a perfect expression of this....

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
