Leviticus 5; Leviticus 6; Leviticus 7; Leviticus 8
The people are to confess and make amends for their sins—Forgiveness comes through a trespass offering—Priests thereby make an atonement for sin. The people must first make restitution for sin, then offer a trespass offering, and thereby gain forgiveness through atonement made by the priests. Laws governing various sacrifices are listed—The children of Israel are forbidden to eat fat or blood—They worship by sacrifice—Through sacrifice they gain forgiveness, make vows, consecrate their property, render thanks, and are reconciled to God. Aaron and his sons are washed, anointed, clothed in their priesthood robes, and consecrated before all Israel—Moses and Aaron offer sacrifices to make reconciliation and atonement with the Lord.
Often we take too narrow a view of life like the little twig on the end of furthest limb of a tree. It is vital with buds and blossoms full and fragrant. However, it would be foolish for that little twig to say it had no need of the limb. Cut from the tree it could not survive a single day but it would wither and die. Its beauty and fragrance gone. To be fragrant foliage we must remain attached to the source of our strength. We must study the words of the prophets in the scriptures.
