Leviticus 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 5:13

And the priest shall make an atonement for him
By burning the handful of flour brought by him, as an emblem of the painful sufferings of Christ, whereby he made atonement for the sins of his people:

as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these;
for whatsoever sin he had committed in any of the above cases, ( Leviticus 5:1-4 ) :

and it shall be forgiven him;
upon the foot of the atonement made; (See Gill on Leviticus 5:10):

and [the remnant] shall be the priest's as a meat offering;
the whole tenth part of an ephah of fine flour was the priest's, excepting the handful he took and burnt, just as in the case of a common meat offering, ( Leviticus 2:3 ) .

Leviticus 5:13 In-Context

11 But if you cannot afford two turtledoves or two pigeons, you shall bring as your offering for the sin that you have committed one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour for a sin offering; you shall not put oil on it or lay frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

12 You shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall scoop up a handful of it as its memorial portion, and turn this into smoke on the altar, with the offerings by fire to the Lord; it is a sin offering.

13 Thus the priest shall make atonement on your behalf for whichever of these sins you have committed, and you shall be forgiven. Like the grain offering, the rest shall be for the priest.

14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

15 When any of you commit a trespass and sin unintentionally in any of the holy things of the Lord, you shall bring, as your guilt offering to the Lord, a ram without blemish from the flock, convertible into silver by the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.
