And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 📚“If a person sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD, and lies to his neighbour about something deposited with him, or left in his care, or about a thing he robbed, or if he has deceived his neighbour,6:2 All sin, no matter what human being it is against, is also against the Lord (Ps 51:4; Gen 20:6; 39:9; 2 Sam 12:13; Ps 41:4).🪶
3 📚or has found something that was lost and lies about it, and swears falsely, doing one of all the things a man does and sins in doing it, 4 📚then, because he has sinned and is guilty, it is required that he restore what he robbed, or the thing he has gotten deceitfully, or what was deposited with him, or the lost thing which he found, 5 📚or anything about which he swore falsely. He shall make restoration for it in full, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs, on the day of his trespass offering.
6:4-5 Ex 22:1; Num 5:5-8; 2 Sam 12:6; Luke 19:8. Without restitution confession is vain. God demands that we make up for the wrong we have done. If we are not willing to do so we cannot expect God’s forgiveness.🪶
6 📚And he shall bring to the priest his trespass offering to the LORD, a ram without blemish from the flock, its value set by you, as a trespass offering. 7 📚And the priest shall make atonement for him in the presence of the LORD, and of all he might have done, he will be forgiven for the one thing in which he was guilty”.
6:6-7 The sins mentioned in the above verses could only be done intentionally, knowingly. Still there was forgiveness if the offender confessed, repented, and made restitution.🪶
Continuous burnt offering
8 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 9 📚“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: it, the burnt offering, is to be burning on the altar all night until morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it. 10 📚And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and put linen shorts next to his flesh, and take up the ashes of the burnt offering which the fire has consumed on the altar, and shall put them beside the altar. 11 📚And he shall remove his garments, and put on other garments, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place. 12 📚And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and arrange the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat of the peace offerings on it. 13 The fire shall always be burning on the altar. It must never go out.
Further instructions about various offerings
14 📚“And this is the law of the grain offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it in the presence of the LORD, before the altar. 15 📚And he shall take his handful from it, from the flour of the grain offering and from its oil, and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar as a soothing aroma to the LORD, as its memorial offering. 16 📚And the rest of it Aaron and his sons shall eat. It is to be eaten with bread, made without yeast, in a holy place. They shall eat it in the courtyard of the tabernacle of the congregation. 17 📚It shall not be baked with yeast. I have given it to them as their portion of my offerings made by fire 📖. It is most holy 📖, like the sin offering and like the trespass offering. 18 📚All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat 📖 it. It shall be a regulation forever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made with fire. Everyone who touches them shall be holy”.
19 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 20 📚“This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they are to offer to the LORD on the day when he is anointed: a tenth of an ephah 📖 of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening. 21 📚It is to be made with oil in a pan. And when it is baked, you shall bring it in and offer the baked pieces of the grain offering as a soothing aroma to the LORD. 22 📚And the priest among his sons who is anointed in his stead shall offer it. This is a permanent regulation. It is to be completely burned as an offering to the LORD. 23 📚For every grain offering of the priest shall be completely burned; it shall not be eaten”.
6:22-23 These offerings which the priests offered for themselves, unlike the ones the people offered, could not be eaten. They were for God alone.🪶
24 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 25 📚“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: the sin offering is to be killed in the presence of the LORD in the place where the burnt offering is killed. It is most holy. 26 📚The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. It is to be eaten in a holy place in the courtyard of the tabernacle of the congregation.
6:26 The knowledge that Christ died for our sins is satisfying spiritual food indeed – John 6:53-58.🪶
27 📚Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy, and when any of its blood is sprinkled on any garment, you shall wash what it was sprinkled on in a holy place. 28 📚And the earthenware vessel in which it was boiled shall be broken. If it has been boiled in a bronze pot, it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water. 29 📚All the males among the priests shall eat it. It is most holy. 30 📚But no sin offering that has any of its blood brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to make atonement in the Holy Place shall be eaten. It shall be burned in the fire.
6:30 One aspect of the sin offering was toward God alone.🪶
