Leviticus 6:7

7 The priest will make reconciliation for you before the LORD, and you will be forgiven for anything you may have done that made you guilty.

Leviticus 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 6:7

And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the
Lord
By offering the ram he brought, by which a typical, but not real atonement was made; for the blood of bulls and goats, of sheep and rams, could not take away sin; but as they were types of Christ, and led to him, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world:

and it shall be forgiven him, for anything of all that he hath
done, in trespassing therein;
any and everyone of the above sins, with all the aggravations of them, were forgiven, upon the atonement made, though they were so enormous; and, indeed, all manner of sin is forgiven for Christ's sake, except the sin against the Holy Ghost: and L'Empereur ^F15 rightly observes, against the Socinians, who deny that sacrifices were offered for crimes very grievous, that these were of such a nature; for what more vile than unfaithfulness in a trust, than cheating and defrauding, stealing, lying, and perjury?

5 or whatever it was that you swore falsely about. You must make amends for the principal amount and add one-fifth to it. You must give it to the owner on the day you become guilty.

6 You must bring to the priest as your compensation to the LORD a flawless ram from the flock at the standard value as a compensation offering.

7 The priest will make reconciliation for you before the LORD, and you will be forgiven for anything you may have done that made you guilty.

8 The LORD said to Moses:

9 Command Aaron and his sons: This is the Instruction for the entirely burned offering—the entirely burned offering that must remain on the altar hearth all night until morning, while the fire is kept burning.
