レビ記 5:5-6 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:5-6

In the four cases last mentioned there is first to be an acknowledgment of guilt, he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing , and then the sin offering is to be made. Confession of sin probably preceded or accompanied all sin offerings. The use of the word asham, translated trespass offering in Leviticus 5:6 , and the character of the four cases have led many commentators to regard Leviticus 5:1-13 as dealing with the trespass offering rather than the sin offering. But if... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 5:5-13

Pardon possible to all. The requirements of the Law, as stated in these verses, speak of the possibility of pardon for every offender, if he be willing to submit himself to the wilt of God. We have— I. CONFESSION OF SIX . "He shall confess that he hath sinned" ( Leviticus 5:5 ). It is believed that confession was always required from the offerer when he laid his hand on the victim's head. It was a marked feature in the ceremonies of the Day of Atonement; it is expressly... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 5:5

Leviticus 5:5. In one of these things In one of the three forementioned cases, either by sinful silence, or by an unclean touch, or by rash swearing. He shall confess Before the Lord, in the place of public worship. And this confession is not to be restrained to the present case, but, by a parity of reason, and comparing of other scriptures, to be extended to other sacrifices for sin, to which this was a constant companion. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 5:6

Leviticus 5:6. His trespass-offering But how come confession and sacrifice to be necessary for him that touched an unclean thing, when such persons were cleansed with simple washing, as appears from Leviticus 11:0., and Numbers 19:0.? This place speaks of him that being so unclean did come into the tabernacle, as may be gathered by comparing this place with Numbers 19:13; which if any man did, knowing himself to be unclean, which was the case there, he was to be cut off for it; and if he... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 5:1-13

The sin offering: its uses (5:1-13)Sin offerings could be offered only for those sins that people committed unintentionally, such as through carelessness, haste, accident or weakness. When people realized they were guilty of such sins, they had to make confession and bring a sin offering (5:1-6; cf. 4:13,22,27). No sacrifice was available for deliberate or premeditated sins (Numbers 15:30). The sin offering therefore showed up the weakness of the sacrificial system. It provided only for those... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 5:5

Leviticus 5:5. It shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these— Read, when he shall be sensible of his guilt in any one of these things, he shall confess, &c. To the confession, the Hebrew rabbis say, the usual forms in sacrifice were added: and Maimonides acquaints us, that the words of confession were these "O God! I have sinned, I have done perversely; I have trespassed before thee, and have done so and so! Lo! I repent, and am ashamed of my doings, and will no more act after the... read more
