The priest acts as a mediator between God and the people, highlighting the necessity of an intermediary in the process of reconciliation with God. This foreshadows the ultimate High Priest, Jesus Christ, who makes atonement for humanity's sins once and for all (<a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11-12</a>). The phrase "any of these sins" refers to unintentional sins or sins of omission, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of atonement available under the law. The sacrificial system underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for purification, which is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament.<p><b>and he will be forgiven</b><br>Forgiveness is a key theme in the Bible, and here it is granted through the prescribed sacrificial system. This forgiveness is not merely a legal pardon but a restoration of the relationship between the sinner and God. The assurance of forgiveness upon the completion of the sacrificial ritual points to God's mercy and willingness to restore His people. This anticipates the New Testament teaching of forgiveness through Christ's sacrifice, where believers are assured of forgiveness and reconciliation with God (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>).<p><b>The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.</b><br>The portion of the offering that belongs to the priest serves as a provision for those who serve in the temple, reflecting the principle that those who minister in holy things should be supported by the offerings of the people (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-13.htm">1 Corinthians 9:13-14</a>). The comparison to the grain offering, which was also partially consumed by the priests, indicates a continuity in the sacrificial system where the priests are sustained by the offerings. This practice underscores the communal aspect of worship and the support of religious leaders, a principle that continues in various forms in Christian communities today.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/priest.htm">Priest</a></b><br>The priest acts as a mediator between the people and God, performing the rituals necessary for atonement and forgiveness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/atonement.htm">Atonement</a></b><br>A key concept in Leviticus, referring to the reconciliation between God and humanity through sacrificial offerings.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/sin_offering.htm">Sin Offering</a></b><br>A specific type of offering made to atone for unintentional sins, highlighting the seriousness of sin and the need for purification.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/f/forgiveness.htm">Forgiveness</a></b><br>The divine act of pardoning sin, restoring the sinner to a right relationship with God.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/grain_offering.htm">Grain Offering</a></b><br>A type of offering that was often given alongside other sacrifices, part of which was consumed by the priests.<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 in making atonement underscores the need for a mediator between God and humanity, fulfilled ultimately in Jesus Christ, our High Priest.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_atonement.htm">Understanding Atonement</a></b><br>Atonement is central to our relationship with God, reminding us of the seriousness of sin and the grace available through Christ's sacrifice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_gift_of_forgiveness.htm">The Gift of Forgiveness</a></b><br>Forgiveness is a divine gift that restores us to fellowship with God, encouraging us to live in gratitude and obedience.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_significance_of_offerings.htm">The Significance of Offerings</a></b><br>The offerings in Leviticus point to the need for a heart of worship and surrender, fulfilled in our lives through spiritual sacrifices of praise and service.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_priest's_portion.htm">The Priest's Portion</a></b><br>The portion given to the priest signifies God's provision for those who serve Him, reminding us of the importance of supporting ministry work today.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_5.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 5</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/when_was_nehemiah_written.htm">What does it mean Jesus became sin for us?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_'lamb_of_god'_fit_ot_laws.htm">How does calling Jesus 'the Lamb of God' who removes sin (John 1:29) fit with conflicting Old Testament sacrificial laws?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_did_priests_diagnose_skin_diseases.htm">How could priests with no formal medical training accurately diagnose skin diseases (Leviticus 13:1-8)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_animal_sacrifice_needed.htm">Is animal sacrifice necessary?
