Levítico 5:11

11 »Si no te alcanza para comprar las dos tórtolas o los dos pichones, podrás llevar dos kilos
de harina selecta como ofrenda por tu pecado. Puesto que es una ofrenda por el pecado, no la humedecerás con aceite de oliva ni le pondrás incienso.

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 Después rociará un poco de la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado en cada lado del altar, y escurrirá el resto de la sangre al pie del altar. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.

10 Luego el sacerdote preparará la segunda ave como ofrenda quemada, siguiendo los procedimientos establecidos. Mediante este proceso, el sacerdote te purificará de tu pecado, te hará justo ante el Señor
y serás perdonado.

11 »Si no te alcanza para comprar las dos tórtolas o los dos pichones, podrás llevar dos kilos
de harina selecta como ofrenda por tu pecado. Puesto que es una ofrenda por el pecado, no la humedecerás con aceite de oliva ni le pondrás incienso.

12 Lleva la harina al sacerdote, quien tomará un puñado como porción representativa. Él la quemará sobre el altar, encima de las ofrendas especiales presentadas al Señor
. Es una ofrenda por el pecado.

13 Mediante este proceso, el sacerdote purificará a los que sean culpables de cualquiera de estos pecados, los hará justos ante el Señor
, y serán perdonados. El resto de la harina selecta le pertenecerá al sacerdote, tal como la ofrenda de grano».
