Leviticus 5-7
An Overview of Chapter 5
Instructions for the sin offering are continued here.
Reasons for guilt: False testimony, touching an animal carcass, touching human uncleanness, and swearing thoughtlessly.
Variations for poor people: If a bull cannot be afforded, then a lamb or goat was allowed. If a lamb or goat could not be afforded, then two doves or two pigeons were allowed. If you could not afford the birds, then a grain offering would suffice.
Name of Offering: Guilt Offering.
Purpose of Offering: For atonement and forgiveness.
Variations: Before this could be brought restitution had to be made with a 20% fee. Even those who sinned unintentionally had to bring this offering.
An Overview of Chapter 6
Instructions for restitution for the guilt offering are continued here, with the examples of deception, extortion, robbery, or lost items.
The priests payment for the burnt offering: When presenting the offering the priest must wear his uniform, except when he is cleaning up the mess. His payment for his duty is a basket of grain to eat.
The priests payment for the presentation/anointing/ordination offering: He will burn all the grain and none should be left over to eat.
The priests payment for the sin offering: The priest gets to eat whatever is sacrificed.
An Overview of Chapter 7
The priests payment for the guilt offering: All the meat of the guilt offering is to be eaten by the priest.
The priests payment for the burnt offering revisited: The priest also receives the skin of the offering.
The priests payment for the peace offering: The priest gets to eat whatever is sacrificed, but he gets an extra day to do it if the offering is a votive or freewill offering.
Miscellaneous laws: Don’t eat roadkill or blood.
The priests payment for the peace offering revisited: The breast and the right thigh are the meat that the priests get to eat.
Reflection
Does it bother you that your pastors get paid from the tithes and offerings that you bring? Should it? Is it important to give restitution above what is owed to someone you have taken advantage of? Do you confess your sin before you bring “sacrifices” to God?
