Leviticus 05:1-13 Bible Study - Sin Offering (Part 2) - purification offering?

Leviticus 05.1-13 Bible Study - Sin Offering (Part 2)
In this Bible study, we look at the 2nd half of the Sin Offering as outlined in Leviticus 5.1-13. The Israelites were required to perform a “sin offering” if they failed to do something that was required, such as failing to give a testimony, dealing properly with ritual uncleanness, or fulfilling an oath. We also look at the “sin offering” as the “purification offering” asking why a woman who just gave birth would be required to give a “sin offering?” A key verse in this passage is Leviticus 5.5 in which the text tells us that confession is key to the process.

OUTLINE:
01:45 - What is Iron Sheep Ministries?

07:04 - Outline of the talk:
5.1-6 Failure to do something that was required:
- v1 - Failure to give testimony, which could prevent justice from being carried out.
- v2-3 - Failure to deal properly with ritual uncleanness, which could lead to the Lord’s tabernacle being defiled.
- v4 - Failure to fulfill an oath, which would result in the Lord’s name being profaned.
In any of the above. ONCE they realized their guilt there were two things they had to do.
- v5 - Confess their sin
- v6 - bring an offering to the Tabernacle so the priest could make atonement for them.
5.7-13 - Three possible offerings, adjusted according to the economic situation of the person bringing the offering. EVERYONE has the opportunity to make a sacrifice, no matter how poor they were.

08:42 - Leviticus 5.1-13

12:02 - Lev 5.1 - public charge to testify - it was considered a sin to see something and not say something.

14:25 - Lev 5.2-3 - “ceremonially unclean” - we see unclean as being related to public health or hygiene. A better way to think of a ceremony unclean vs clean is adequately prepared for worship.

35:55 - why is confession important?
When you realize your guilt, the very first step, you must go through is to confess your sin before the Lord. He already knows what you did! But if you refuse to acknowledge your sin, then there is no room for the Holy Spirit to work in you. The Lord’s discipline is a good thing.
