Leviticus 5

There seems to be an exception in the case of him who was so poor that he could not provide the meanest offering of blood for a sin-offering. For he was allowed by the law to offer the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for his sin, and it was forgiven him (Leviticus 5:11, 12,…

First, the thing that Christ bore is called griefs and sorrows, by which we understand the effects that sin brings on men in the world, for it is the same that in verse 5 is called his being wounded for our transgression, and bruised for our iniquity; it is a wounding that iniqu…

James commands not such a confession. Daniel's, Ezra's, Peter's confession were some other thing (John 1:20; Acts 19:18; Hebrews 11:13; Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 4:2; Mark 3:6; Joshua 7:19; Daniel 9:4; Romans 10:10; 1 Timothy 6:13; Psalm 32:5; James 5:16; Leviticus 5:5; Leviticus 1…

If it may be done more conveniently and profitably another time, it may be omitted for the time. Except in these five cases, he that does not reprove his brother, is guilty of his sin (Leviticus 5:1). 4th Point.

31. If a private man sin by ignorance, he must offer his sin-offering (Leviticus 4:27). 32. That a sacrifice be offered for an uncertain crime (Leviticus 5:17, 18). 33. That a Sacrifice be offered for sin certain and known (Leviticus 6:2; chap. 5:16).

But as it denotes the especial offering now under consideration, it was not ordinarily appointed to make atonement. I say not ordinarily, because there was an especial dispensation in the case of the poor man, who was allowed to bring flower and oil, the matter of the Mincha, in…

IV. What I would next observe concerning the incarnation of Christ, are the remarkable circumstances of it; such as his being born of a poor virgin, that was a pious holy person, but poor, as appeared by her offering at her purification: Luke 2:24, "And to offer a sacrifice acco…

They that grieve not and mourn not, are guilty, as the Apostle tells us (1 Corinthians 5:1-2), and by mourning they were cleared of this matter (2 Corinthians 7:11). 2. By concealing that which we ought to discover and make known, as may be easily proved from (Leviticus 5:1): if…

The Hebrew word 'nasa' in verse 12 likewise argues a taking of the punishment of sin from us and transferring it to himself, signifying as much as we mean by the word satisfaction. So also does Peter's Greek term used in its place; for to bear iniquity in scriptural language is…

Nor has the expression 'bearing sins' any other meaning in Scripture. Leviticus 5:1: 'He that hears swearing and does not reveal it shall bear his iniquity' — meaning not that he shall declare himself or others to be free from sin, but that he shall undergo the punishment due to…

And this we must carefully remember. And therefore we see an excellent expression of this in Leviticus 5, where this is made clear to you: that it is not any excellence in the person, not any fervency in the prayer, not any purity or holiness found in him, nothing that comes fro…

Now to bear them does imply that he bore the punishment of them, and that they were imputed to him for that end. For whereas some do think that to bear our sins does signify no more but that he bore them away from us, without bearing himself any punishment deserved by them, it i…

The priest prayed that the sins, that is, the punishment of the sins of the people might be laid on the goat (Numbers 18:1). Aaron and his sons are to bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, that is, the punishment of their iniquity, in that they were punished, if any of the sanctua…

(4) Because, those sins of infirmity and ignorance which the saints are subject to, and which the Papists call venial sins, will not suffer them to stand in judgment before God, nor can the saints be justified from them but by faith — and therefore in strict justice they merit a…
