Levítico 5:11

11 Se, porém, as suas posses não bastarem para duas rolas, ou dois pombinhos, então, como oferta por aquilo em que houver pecado, trará a décima parte duma efa de flor de farinha como oferta pelo pecado; não lhe deitará azeite nem lhe porá em cima incenso, porquanto é oferta pelo pecado;

Levítico 5:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 5:11

But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons
Which is supposing a man to be in the poorest circumstances he can well be; and such is the grace and goodness of God, that he has provided for the atonement and forgiveness of the poorest, as well as of the rich:

then he that hath sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth
part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering;
which is an omer, ( Exodus 16:36 ) and is as much as a man can eat in one day, as Aben Ezra remarks:

he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put [any]
frankincense thereon;
to distinguish it from the common meat offering, which had both, ( Leviticus 3:1 ) and to make it as easy, and as little chargeable to the poor as possible, both oil and frankincense being things of value; and some think that these were prohibited, to show that atonement and forgiveness, and even the salvation of men, are not owing to grace in them, comparable to oil, or to their prayers, signified by frankincense, and so to any or all of their duties, but to Christ alone, and his atoning sacrifice: or these were forbidden, because emblems of joy and gladness, and therefore not so proper at a confession of sin, and humiliation for it: or rather to show how disagreeable and offensive sin was to the Lord, being contrary to grace, of which oil was an emblem, and far from being acceptable to him, which frankincense might signify; and therefore being prohibited, might denote how unacceptable, yea nauseous, sin is to him; which agrees with the reason given;

for it [is] a sin [offering],
and therefore must not be honoured, as Jarchi, or must have everything removed from it that is beautiful and amiable, as Ben Gersom, such as oil and frankincense.

Levítico 5:11 In-Context

9 e do sangue da oferta pelo pecado espargirá sobre a parede do altar, porém o que restar, daquele sangue espremer-se-á � base do altar; é oferta pelo pecado.

10 E do outro fará holocausto conforme a ordenança; assim o sacerdote fará expiação por ele do pecado que cometeu, e ele será perdoado.

11 Se, porém, as suas posses não bastarem para duas rolas, ou dois pombinhos, então, como oferta por aquilo em que houver pecado, trará a décima parte duma efa de flor de farinha como oferta pelo pecado; não lhe deitará azeite nem lhe porá em cima incenso, porquanto é oferta pelo pecado;

12 e o trará ao sacerdote, o qual lhe tomará um punhado como o memorial da oferta, e a queimará sobre o altar em cima das ofertas queimadas do Senhor; é oferta pelo pecado.

13 Assim o sacerdote fará por ele expiação do seu pecado, que houver cometido em alguma destas coisas, e ele será perdoado; e o restante pertencerá ao sacerdote, como a oferta de cereais.
