It symbolized the removal of sin and impurity from the individual. The priest, acting as a mediator between God and the people, performed this sacrifice to cleanse the person from ceremonial impurity. This offering points to the need for purification from sin, a theme that runs throughout the Bible, culminating in the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who is described as the sin offering for humanity (<a href="/hebrews/10-12.htm">Hebrews 10:12</a>).<p><b>and the other as a burnt offering.</b><br>The burnt offering was a symbol of complete dedication and surrender to God. Unlike the sin offering, which was partially consumed by the priest, the burnt offering was entirely consumed by fire, representing total consecration. This act of offering signifies the worshiper's desire to be wholly devoted to God. The burnt offering foreshadows Christ's complete and willing sacrifice, as He offered Himself entirely to God on behalf of humanity (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>).<p><b>In this way the priest will make atonement for her</b><br>Atonement in the Old Testament involved covering or removing sin to restore the relationship between God and the individual. The priest's role was to mediate this process, highlighting the need for an intermediary in the reconciliation with God. This anticipates the New Testament revelation of Jesus as the ultimate High Priest who makes atonement for all (<a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11-12</a>).<p><b>before the LORD</b><br>The phrase "before the LORD" indicates that the ritual was performed in the presence of God, emphasizing His holiness and the seriousness of sin. It underscores the belief that all acts of worship and atonement are ultimately directed towards God, who is the source of forgiveness and purification. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to live their lives as a sacrifice before God (<a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a>).<p><b>for her unclean discharge.</b><br>The context of <a href="/leviticus/15.htm">Leviticus 15</a> deals with various bodily discharges and their implications for ritual purity. In ancient Israel, physical cleanliness was closely associated with spiritual purity. The discharge rendered a person ceremonially unclean, necessitating purification rituals to restore them to the community and to God. This reflects the broader biblical theme of the need for cleansing from sin and impurity, which is ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who cleanses believers from all unrighteousness (1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a>).<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 atone for sins and impurities.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_woman.htm">The Woman</a></b><br>Refers to a woman who has been ceremonially unclean due to a bodily discharge, requiring purification.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/turtledoves_or_young_pigeons.htm">Turtledoves or Young Pigeons</a></b><br>These birds are used as offerings, accessible to those who might not afford larger animals, symbolizing God's provision for all.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/sin_offering.htm">Sin Offering</a></b><br>A sacrifice made to atone for unintentional sins and impurities, restoring the individual's relationship with God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/b/burnt_offering.htm">Burnt Offering</a></b><br>A sacrifice symbolizing complete surrender to God, with the entire offering consumed by fire.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_ritual_purity.htm">Understanding Ritual Purity</a></b><br>The laws in Leviticus highlight the importance of purity and the need for atonement, pointing to the holiness of God and the separation sin causes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_for_all.htm">God's Provision for All</a></b><br>The allowance of turtledoves or pigeons as offerings shows God's understanding and provision for those of different economic statuses.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_sacrifice.htm">Symbolism of Sacrifice</a></b><br>The dual offerings (sin and burnt) symbolize both the removal of impurity and the dedication of oneself to God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/christ_as_the_fulfillment.htm">Christ as the Fulfillment</a></b><br>These sacrifices foreshadow the ultimate atonement through Jesus Christ, who cleanses us from all sin and impurity.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_a_life_of_holiness.htm">Living a Life of Holiness</a></b><br>As believers, we are called to live lives that reflect God's holiness, understanding that Christ has made the ultimate atonement for us.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_15.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 15</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_was_moses'_tabernacle.htm">What was Moses' Tabernacle?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_lev._9_7-8_and_heb._10_4_align.htm">In Leviticus 9:7-8, how can the idea that priests make atonement for the people be squared with Hebrews 10:4, which says animal sacrifices can't truly remove sin?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_2_chr_30_17-20_fit_with_ot_laws.htm">How does the acceptance of ritually unclean participants in 2 Chronicles 30:17-20 fit with strict purification laws found elsewhere in the Old Testament?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_leviticus_27_7-8_promote_inequality.htm">Leviticus 27:7-8: How can the poor be expected to fulfill vow payments that might exceed their means, and does this system promote inequality?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/15.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(30) <span class= "bld">And the priest shall offer.--</span>Exactly in the same manner as described in <a href="/leviticus/15-15.htm" title="And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.">Leviticus 15:15</a>.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/15-30.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">The priest</span><br /><span class="heb">הַכֹּהֵן֙</span> <span class="translit">(hak·kō·hên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Article | Noun -
