leviticus 6
Summary
Continues the laws regarding guilt offerings and provides instructions for the priests on how to handle various offerings, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, and sin offerings.
Key Points
- If a person sins by deceiving their neighbor about something entrusted to them, stealing, or swearing falsely, they must make restitution and bring a guilt offering (Leviticus 6:1-7).
- The Lord gives Moses instructions for the priests regarding the burnt offering, which must be kept burning on the altar continually (Leviticus 6:8-13).
- The grain offering is to be handled by the priests, with a portion burned on the altar and the rest eaten by Aaron and his sons in a holy place (Leviticus 6:14-18).
- The priests are given instructions for the sin offering, which is to be slaughtered in the same place as the burnt offering, and only the priests may eat it in a holy place (Leviticus 6:24-30).
