Leviticus 6:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 6:4

2 “If a person sins and ^acommits a trespass against the Lord by ^blying to his neighbor about ^cwhat was delivered to him for safekeeping, or about² a pledge, or about a robbery, or if he has ^dextorted from his neighbor,

3 or if he ^ahas found what was lost and lies concerning it, and ^bswears falsely—in any one of these things that a man may do in which he sins:

4 then it shall be, because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall¹ restore ^awhat he has stolen, or the thing which he has extorted, or what was delivered to him for safekeeping, or the lost thing which he found,

5 or all that about which he has sworn falsely. He shall ^arestore its full value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whomever it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering.

6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, ^aa ram without blemish from the flock, with your¹ valuation, as a trespass offering, to the priest.

7 ^aSo the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for any one of these things that he may have done in which he trespasses.”

The Law of the Burnt Offering

9 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the ^alaw of the burnt offering: The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
