Leviticus 4-7
Leviticus 4-7
In Leviticus 1-7, God is giving Moses instructions for the 5 main sacrifices for Israel’s worship at the Tabernacle. Chapters 1-3 details the first three. Leviticus 4-6 detail the next two, the sin (or better, purification) offering and the guilt or restitution offering.
These two offerings are very similar. It even says in these chapters “the guilt offering is like the sin offering.” They both deal with inadvertent wrongdoing that needs atonement. The key difference is that guilt offerings are for matters where restitution or repayment can be made as well.
Also included in these chapters are some special instructions for the priests for all five offerings.
All of this is by way of the Lord’s gracious provision, making clear what he required and how they could come before him in a way that honors his holiness.
