Leviticus Chapter 5 Bible Study
Sin offerings are required in the following cases.
- Summon to give evidence in court and not give new information about something you have seen or heard
- Touch anything unclean with rituals and not clean and guilty of all that you have done
- Touch anything unclean of human origin
- Make a careless vow without being careful of it. When you are guilty, confess your sin, and as for the penalty, you must offer a female sheep or goat as a sin offering, and the priest shall give you sacrifice for your sin. If you cannot offer a sheep nor a goat, you must bring two turtledoves or young pigeons, one for a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. You shall bring them to the priest, and he will offer a bird first as a sin offering, which shall break its neck but no pulling of its head and sprinkle some of the blood on the altar. The rest of the blood will be drained out at the altar’s base to take away sin. He shall offer the second bird as a burnt offering according to the regulations. This way, the priest shall offer the sacrifice for your sins, and you will be forgiven.
If you can’t afford two turtledoves or young pigeons, you shall bring two pounds of flour without any oils or incense on it as a sin offering. The priest will take a needful of it and burn it on the altar to offer the sacrifice for your sin. In this way your sins shall be forgiven, and the rest of the flour belongs to the priest.
The Lord gave requests for the regulations to Moses.
- Unintentionally failing the payment: You are sinned and shall bring a nondefective male sheep or goat and pay an additional 20% payment.
- Unintentionally breaking one of the Lord’s commands: You are guilty and must pay the penalty and shall bring a nondefective male sheep or goat. Then the priest shall offer the sacrifice for your unintentional sin, and you will be forgiven. It is a repayment offering for the sin you are committed against the Lord.
