{Leviticus
Chapters 5 and 6 - Trespass Offering -
Rebound offering with Emphasis on the Known Sins}
{Verses
1-4: Categories of Trespass (known sins)}
1~~"And
if a soul {nephesh} sin {chata'}
{where is the old sin nature? In the soul! When we sin, it is the
soul that sins. And only the soul is ever saved},
and
'hear, listen and obey' {shama`}
the
voice of swearing,
and
is a witness,
whether
he has seen or known of it;
if
he do not utter it,
then
he shall bear his iniquity."
{First
Category of Trespass - Touching Spiritually Unclean Things}
2~~"Or
if a soul touches/
'has
a contact leading to an association with' {naga`}
any
unclean thing {see Leviticus 11, 13 and 15 for what these are},
whether
it be a carcass of an unclean beast,
or
a carcass of unclean cattle,
or
the carcass of unclean creeping things,
and
if it be hidden from him;
he
also shall be unclean, and guilty."
Second
and Third Categories of Trespass - Response and Reaction types}
3~~"Or
if he touch the uncleanness of man
{reference to the sins of mankind becoming your sins by association
response type - you are influenced to sin because your peers are
doing it
reaction type - someone harms you and you react - hatred,
vengeance, etc.},
whatsoever
uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal,
and
it be hid from him;
when
he knows of it {known sins},
then
he shall be guilty."
{Fourth
Category of Trespass - the Sins of the Tongue}
4~~"Or
if a soul swears/takes a solemn oath' {shaba`}
{comes from the word for 'seven' the perfect number - it means
to take a solemn oath} ,
pronouncing
with his lips to do evil, or to do good
{means it does not matter the object of oath - if he breaks it},
whatsoever
it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath,
and
it be hid from him;
when
he knows of it {known sins},
then
he shall be guilty in one of these."
5~~"And
it shall be,
when
he shall be guilty in one of these things {trespass sins},
that
he shall acknowledge/specify/name/confess
{yadah - Hithpael perfect stem - reflexive this time to show
interaction in the soul perfect means every confession is a
completion in itself - same as I John 1:9 - rebound}
that
he has sinned
{chata' - means to recognize a known standard has been violated}
in
that thing."
{Verses
6-13: Three Types of Trespass Offerings As Far as Animals Are concerned}
{The
Lamb/Kid Offering}
6~~"And
he shall bring his trespass offering unto Jehovah/God
for
his sin which he has sinned
{trespass offerings are for KNOWN sins - see chapter 4 for unknown
sin offerings - the offering teaches through the ritual - the
rebound was completed when he confessed the sin},
a
female from the flock
{female means Jesus agreed to receive the sin to Himself on the
cross},
a
lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering;
and
the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin."
{Verses
7-10: Pigeon and Turtledove Offering (for Those Who Could not Afford
a Lamb)}
7~~And
if he be not able to bring a lamb {poor people},
then
he shall bring for his trespass,
which
he has committed,
two
turtledoves {towr}, or two young pigeons, unto Jehovah/God
{one for the sin offering - sin of ignorance and the other for the
trespass offering - the sin of cognizance (known sins)};
one
for a sin offering,
and
the other for a burnt offering."
8~~"And
he shall bring them unto the priest,
who
shall offer that which is for the sin offering first,
and
wring off his head from his neck,
but
shall not divide it asunder."
9~~"And
he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering
upon
the side of the altar;
and
the rest of the blood
shall
be wrung out at the bottom of the altar.
It
is a sin offering {covers unknown sins first}."
10~~"And
he shall offer the second for a burnt offering
{covers known sins next},
according
to the manner
and
the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin
which
he has sinned,
and
it shall be forgiven him."
{Verses
11-13: Food Offering (Very Poorest of People)}
11~~"But
if he be not able to bring two turtledoves,
or
two young pigeons {really a broke poor person},
then
he who sinned shall bring for his offering/'drawing near' {qorban}
the
tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering
{almost no flour at all - very small - it is not the quantity that
matters};
he
shall put no oil upon it
{oil represents the Holy Spirit and he forsook Jesus on the cross
when the sins were poured out on Him},
neither
shall he put any frankincense thereon . .
{frankincense represents the Plan of God and means sinfulness is
never acceptable to God or His Plan}
for it is a sin offering."
12~~"Then
shall he bring it to the priest,
and
the priest shall take his handful of it,
even
a memorial thereof
{memorial to what Christ accomplished},
and
burn it on the altar
{picture of Christ judged for our sins},
according
to the offerings made by fire unto Jehovah/God.
It
is a sin offering."
13~~"And
the priest shall make an atonement for him
{see I John 1:7 related to I John 1:9}
as
touching his sin that he has sinned in one of these,
and
it shall be forgiven him
and
the rest/remnant shall be the priest's,
as
a 'gift/grain/food offering' {minchah}.
{Doctrine
of the Fifth}
14-16~~"And
Jehovah/God kept on speaking/
'communicating
doctrine categorically' {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses, saying
{'amar - means 'bring it to light' - reveal - teach}, 15~~
"If
a soul commit a trespass
{ma`al - a trespass means to be faithless, to act treacherously
and means a certain category of human sins - a known sin}
and
sin through ignorance
{brings in the unknown sins also - a second categories of sins -
unknown sins},
in
the holy things of Jehovah/God;
then
he shall bring for his trespass {rebound offering}
unto
Jehovah/God
a
ram without blemish out of the flocks
{Jesus Christ again is the ram without blemish - He was perfect and
of His free will went to the cross},
with
your estimation by shekels of silver,
{see chapter 6 - this is explained to mean principal plus one fifth}
after
the shekel of the sanctuary,
for
a trespass offering 16~~
and
he shall make amends
for
the 'violation of the known standard' {chata'}
that
he has done in the holy thing,
and
shall add the fifth part thereto
{this is an increase or 'gain' over the ram - God gave One Son to
the cross and as a result He gains many sons. The 'shekels'
represent redemption. When we confess the sins, we gain
fellowship with God - and we do not earn it or deserve it - grace.
Everyone wins.},
and
give it unto the priest.
And
the priest shall make an atonement for him
with
the ram of the trespass offering,
and
it shall be forgiven him."
{Note: This ram has a price - see chapter 6:1-7. And a money offering equal to one fifth of the ram. Say it is worth $100. You would bring the ram and $20 with you. This is different from the other offerings. This goes with verse 5 above. It is impossible to be a loser under God's grace - He gains and so do we (it is works and legalism where man loses). (Jewish writing style is to give the SUMMARY first then the details - English is reversed style to this).}
{Verses
17-19: Unknown Sins are Forgiven When Known Sins are Confessed}
7~~"And
if a soul sin,
and
commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done
by
the commandments of Jehovah/God;
though
he knows/understood it not, yet he is guilty,
and
shall bear his iniquity."
{Note: Unknown sins carry the same penalty as known sins but you can not orient to the grace of God because you do not know you have sinned (or then they would be known sins).}
18~~"And
he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock,
with
your estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest.
And
the priest shall make an atonement for him
concerning
his ignorance
wherein
he erred and understood {yada`} it not,
and
it shall be forgiven him."
{Note:
Offering the animal does not forgive the unknown sins. The offering
means he understands the principal that when you confess your known
sins, the unknown sins are also forgiven - last part of I John 1:9.}
19~~"It
is a trespass offering.
Trespassing
. . . he has trespassed
{'asham 'asham - doubling a verb is very strong in the Hebrew}
against
Jehovah/God."
