Leviticus 4:1-6:7
Dear RTB’ers,
In the sin and guilt offerings, there is sin involved, both unintentional as in the sin offering and intentional as in the guilt offering. That’s the main difference between those two and the burnt, grain, and peace offerings from the first three chapters. Forgiveness is the divine provision that we have for our sin, both intentional and unintentional. They/he “shall be forgiven” is mentioned four times in chapter 4 (Lev. 4:20,26,31,35), another four times in chapter 5 (Lev. 5:10,13,16,18), and once in chapter 6 (Lev. 6:7). STS also refers us to Leviticus 17:11, For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life. Forgiveness, atonement. Accomplished for us by Jesus with His shed blood.
Blessings!
