Leviticus 14:12

12 tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto oleique sextarium et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus

Leviticus 14:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:12

And the priest shall take one he lamb
One of the he lambs brought by the leper for his offering:

and offer him for a trespass offering;
for though the leprosy itself was a disorder or disease, and not sinful, yet the cause of it was sin, a trespass against God, and therefore a trespass offering must be offered: which was typical of Christ, whose soul was made a trespass offering, ( Isaiah 53:10 ) ; where the same word is used as here:

and the log of oil; (See Gill on Leviticus 14:10);

and wave them [for] a wave offering before the Lord;
heaving of them up and down, moving of them to and fro towards the several parts of the world, east, west, north, and south, even both the log of oil, and the he lamb for the trespass offering, and that alive, as Jarchi observes, and so says Maimonides F15.

Leviticus 14:12 In-Context

10 die octavo adsumet duos agnos inmaculatos et ovem anniculam absque macula et tres decimas similae in sacrificium quae conspersa sit oleo et seorsum olei sextarium
11 cumque sacerdos purificans hominem statuerit eum et haec omnia coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii
12 tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto oleique sextarium et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus
13 immolabit agnum ubi immolari solet hostia pro peccato et holocaustum id est in loco sancto sicut enim pro peccato ita et pro delicto ad sacerdotem pertinet hostia sancta sanctorum est
14 adsumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiae quae immolata est pro delicto ponet super extremum auriculae dextrae eius qui mundatur et super pollices manus dextrae et pedis
