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

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.

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

5. it shall be, when he shall be guilty . . . that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing—make a voluntary acknowledgment of his sin from the impulse of his own conscience, and before it come to the knowledge of the world. A previous discovery might have subjected him to some degree of punishment from which his spontaneous confession released him, but still he was considered guilty of trespass, to expiate which he was obliged by the ceremonial law to go through certain observances. read more

4. The sin offering 4:1-5:13The sin offering was a very important offering since it was to be offered before any of the others. It also played a key role on the Day of Atonement.

THE RITUAL OF THE SIN OFFERINGLeviticus 4:4-35; Leviticus 5:1-13; Leviticus 6:24-30ACCORDING to the Authorised Version, {; Leviticus 5:6-7} it might seem that the section, Leviticus 5:1-13, referred not to the sin offering, but to the guilt offering, like the latter part of the chapter; but, as suggested in the margin of the Revised Version, in these verses we may properly read, instead of "guilt offering," "for his guilt." That the latter rendering is to be preferred is clear when we observe... read more
