This reflects the role of Jesus Christ as our High Priest, who makes atonement for our sins (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>). The concept of atonement involves reconciliation with God, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the need for divine forgiveness. The priest's role underscores the importance of intercession and the necessity of a sacrificial system to maintain a relationship with God.<p><b>with the ram of the guilt offering</b><br>The guilt offering, or "asham" in Hebrew, is specifically for unintentional sins that require restitution. The use of a ram signifies the value and seriousness of the offering. This offering is distinct from the sin offering, highlighting the need for both repentance and restitution. The ram as a sacrificial animal is significant, as it is also used in the binding of Isaac (<a href="/genesis/22-13.htm">Genesis 22:13</a>), foreshadowing Christ's ultimate sacrifice.<p><b>for the sin he has committed</b><br>This phrase emphasizes personal responsibility for sin. In the ancient Near Eastern context, sin was not only a personal failing but also a breach of covenant with God. The acknowledgment of sin is crucial for forgiveness, aligning with the biblical principle that confession leads to cleansing (1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a>). The specificity of the sin indicates the need for awareness and repentance of one's actions.<p><b>and he will be forgiven the sin he has committed</b><br>Forgiveness is a central theme in the Bible, representing God's grace and mercy. In the Old Testament, forgiveness is often conditional upon sacrifice and repentance, pointing to the ultimate forgiveness available through Christ's sacrifice (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>). This assurance of forgiveness reflects God's covenant faithfulness and the restoration of the sinner to a right relationship with Him. The repetition of "the sin he has committed" underscores the completeness of forgiveness for specific transgressions.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest.htm">The Priest</a></b><br>In ancient Israel, the priest served as a mediator between the people and God, performing sacrifices and rituals to atone for sins.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD</a></b><br>Refers to Yahweh, the covenant God of Israel, who established laws and rituals for His people to maintain holiness and relationship with Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_guilt_offering.htm">The Guilt Offering</a></b><br>A specific type of sacrifice in the Levitical system, also known as the "trespass offering," used to atone for certain sins and restore the relationship between the sinner and God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sin.htm">The Sin</a></b><br>The specific wrongdoing or transgression committed by an individual that requires atonement through the guilt offering.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/f/forgiveness.htm">Forgiveness</a></b><br>The act of God pardoning the sin, restoring the sinner to a state of grace and fellowship with Him.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_priest.htm">The Role of the Priest</a></b><br>The priest's role as a mediator foreshadows Christ's ultimate priesthood, emphasizing the need for a mediator in the process of atonement and forgiveness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_seriousness_of_sin.htm">The Seriousness of Sin</a></b><br>Sin is not a trivial matter; it requires a specific process of atonement, highlighting the gravity of disobedience to God's laws.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_provision_of_forgiveness.htm">The Provision of Forgiveness</a></b><br>God's provision for forgiveness through the guilt offering demonstrates His mercy and desire for reconciliation with His people.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_repentance.htm">The Importance of Repentance</a></b><br>The requirement of a guilt offering implies a need for genuine repentance and acknowledgment of wrongdoing before God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_fulfillment_in_christ.htm">The Fulfillment in Christ</a></b><br>The Old Testament sacrificial system points to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, who provides complete atonement and forgiveness for all who believe.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_19.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 19</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/did_jesus_deceive_his_brothers.htm">How do Jesus' teachings relate to the 613 commandments?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_bible's_authority.htm">What does the Bible say about holiness and sanctification?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_is_righteousness_apart_from_law.htm">(Romans 3:21-22) How do we reconcile the idea of being made righteous 'apart from the law' with Old Testament passages that emphasize strict adherence to the law?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_leviticus_12_6-7_still_relevant.htm">Given that other Old Testament laws have been revised or replaced, why does Leviticus 12:6-7 still treat normal biological processes as sources of impurity?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/19.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) <span class= "bld">And the priest shall make an atonement.</span>--Having offered the trespass offering according to the prescribed ritual by the priest, the sinner expiated for his sin, and was declared free by the officiating son of Aaron.
