Leviticus 5 · Grade 3
Rich or Poor, God Forgives
Read the Story
Leviticus 5 names some sins that are easy to miss. A person might be a witness but not speak up. A person might touch something unclean. A person might make a careless promise.
When he knew he was guilty, he had to confess the sin. Then he brought a female lamb or goat as a sin offering. If he could not afford a lamb, he brought two turtledoves or two young pigeons. If he could not afford birds, he could bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour.
The chapter also explains the trespass offering. If someone did wrong with the holy things of the Lord, he brought a ram. He also had to pay back what he owed, and add a fifth part more. The priest made atonement, and he was forgiven.
Memory Verse
“He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.”
