Leviticus 19:22 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 19:22

And the priest shall make an atonement for him
By offering his sacrifice for him, typical of the atoning sacrifice of Christ: with the ram of his trespass offering before the Lord;
presented before him at the door of the tabernacle, and offered up on his altar: for his sin which he hath done;
or "sinned", which is so expressed, according to Jarchi, to take in his sin, whether done ignorantly or presumptuously: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him;
upon the atonement made, as all the sins of God's people are forgiven through Christ, upon the foot of his atoning sacrifice, see ( Hebrews 9:22 ) .

Leviticus 19:22 In-Context

20 “ ‘If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. Yet they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.
21 The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the tent of meeting for a guilt offering to the LORD.
22 With the ram of the guilt offering the priest is to make atonement for him before the LORD for the sin he has committed, and his sin will be forgiven.
23 “ ‘When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, regard its fruit as forbidden. For three years you are to consider it forbidden ; it must not be eaten.
24 In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to the LORD.
