The altar, located in the Tabernacle, was the place where sacrifices were made to God. This act of offering signifies the worshiper's dedication and obedience to God's commands. The altar represents a meeting point between God and man, where atonement and reconciliation occur. The act of offering on the altar foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is both the High Priest and the offering, making the final atonement for sin.<p><b>with the grain offering</b><br>The grain offering, also known as the "meal offering" or "cereal offering," was a sacrifice of fine flour, oil, and frankincense. It was a non-blood offering that accompanied burnt offerings and symbolized the worshiper's dedication and thanksgiving to God. The grain offering represents the fruit of human labor and acknowledges God's provision. In the New Testament, Jesus refers to Himself as the "bread of life" (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>), connecting the grain offering to His provision of spiritual sustenance and life.<p><b>to make atonement for him</b><br>Atonement is a central theme in Leviticus, involving the reconciliation between God and humanity. The Hebrew word for atonement, "kaphar," means to cover or to make reconciliation. The sacrificial system was designed to cover the sins of the people, allowing them to maintain a relationship with a holy God. This phrase points to the necessity of a substitute to bear the penalty of sin, prefiguring Christ's atoning work on the cross, where He bore the sins of the world and provided a way for humanity to be reconciled to God.<p><b>and he will be clean</b><br>In Levitical law, cleanliness was not just physical but also spiritual, symbolizing purity and holiness. Being declared clean allowed the individual to re-enter the community and participate in worship. This cleansing process highlights the importance of holiness and separation from sin. In the New Testament, Jesus cleanses believers from sin, making them spiritually clean and acceptable before God. This cleansing is not just a ritual but a transformation of the heart, enabling believers to live in fellowship with God and others.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest.htm">The Priest</a></b><br>A mediator between God and the people, responsible for performing the sacrificial rituals to ensure the atonement and cleansing of individuals.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_altar.htm">The Altar</a></b><br>A sacred place where offerings and sacrifices are made to God, symbolizing His presence and the means of atonement.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_burnt_offering.htm">The Burnt Offering</a></b><br>A sacrificial offering completely consumed by fire, representing total dedication and surrender to God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_grain_offering.htm">The Grain Offering</a></b><br>An offering of fine flour, oil, and frankincense, symbolizing thanksgiving and devotion to God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/a/atonement_and_cleansing.htm">Atonement and Cleansing</a></b><br>The process by which the priest makes the individual ceremonially clean, restoring their relationship with God and the community.<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 acts as an intermediary, pointing to the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who intercedes for us.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/significance_of_sacrifice.htm">Significance of Sacrifice</a></b><br>Sacrifices in the Old Testament foreshadow the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, emphasizing the need for atonement and reconciliation with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_cleansing.htm">Symbolism of Cleansing</a></b><br>The cleansing process signifies spiritual renewal and restoration, reminding us of the importance of purity in our walk with God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/total_dedication_to_god.htm">Total Dedication to God</a></b><br>The burnt offering represents complete surrender to God, challenging us to live lives fully devoted to Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/gratitude_and_devotion.htm">Gratitude and Devotion</a></b><br>The grain offering symbolizes thanksgiving, encouraging us to express gratitude and devotion in our daily lives.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_14.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 14</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/who_rules_heaven_and_earth.htm">What is the purpose of sacrifices in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_god_require_sacrifices_for_cleansing.htm">Why would God specifically prescribe ritual sacrifices (Leviticus 14:10-20) as a means of ceremonial cleansing, while other passages in Scripture suggest different requirements for purity?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_stoning_contradict_'do_not_kill'.htm">Does the prescribed stoning for blasphemy (Leviticus 24:14) contradict the Sixth Commandment against killing (Exodus 20:13)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_hell_like_in_the_bible.htm">How should we worship God according to the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/14.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(20) <span class= "bld">Shall offer the burnt offering.</span>--With the offering of the burnt offering, accompanied by the meat offering mentioned in <a href="/leviticus/14-10.htm" title="And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.">Leviticus 14:10</a>, concluded the second and last stage of the purification of the leper, which completely restored him to the privileges of the sanctuary.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/14-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">and offer</span><br /><span class="heb">וְהֶעֱלָ֧ה</span> <span class="translit">(wə·he·‘ĕ·lāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
