Verse 12
12. Trespass offering R.V., “guilt offering.” See chap. v, Introductory, also Leviticus 14:6, note. This offering was required, not as a payment of debts to Jehovah accumulated during the sickness, ( Riem, Oehler, and Murphy,) but rather as a consecration offering, because this served as a restoration to all the rights of the priestly covenant nation, which had been suspended by the mortal ban of leprosy. This is shown by the fact that the asham, or trespass offering, was to be waved for a wave offering, an unusual ceremony in connexion with the asham, but used when persons are to be dedicated to the Lord, as were the Levites in Numbers 8:11-15, after their sin offering. For the manner and meaning of waving see Leviticus 7:30, note.
