Leviticus 5:7 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Leviticus 5:7

5 ‘And it shall be, when he is guilty in any of these matters, that he shall ^aconfess that he has sinned in that thing;

6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats as a sin offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.

7 ^a‘If he is not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring to the Lord, for his trespass which he has committed, two ^bturtledoves or two young pigeons: one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.

8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and ^awring off its head from its neck, but shall not divide it¹ completely.

9 Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the ^arest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

10 And he shall offer the second as a burnt offering according to the ^aprescribed manner. So ^bthe priest shall make atonement on his behalf for his sin which he has committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

11 ‘But if he is ^anot able to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. ^bHe shall put no oil on it, nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

12 Then he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it ^aas a memorial portion, and burn it on the altar ^baccording to the offerings made by fire to the Lord. It is a sin offering.

Leviticus

LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11 Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
