Leviticus 5 — offerings for hidden sins and walking in the Spirit

When we commit “unintentional” sins and are later made aware of them, this text teaches us that we can’t simply say “oops” and ignore the revelation of that sin. This text shows us that when we become aware of some fault or sin, we must address the issue with repentance, restitution and restoration.

Thought Questions

How costly are “unintentional sins”?

Why is there a distinction between what you see, touch, or do?

What is the Hebrew word that is translated as speaking “rashly” (batah, Strong’s lexicon No. 981)?

What is the Hebrew word that is translated as “hidden from him” (’alam, Strong’s 5956)?

What is the Hebrew word for “oath” (’alah, Strong’s 423) in Lev. 5:1?

What is the difference between the word translated as “guilt” in Lev. 5:1 (’avon, Strong’s 5771) versus Lev. 5:2 and the rest of the chapter (’asham, Strong’s 816)?

What is the real Hebrew word for “unaware” or “he knew not” in Lev. 5:17 (lo-yada, Strong’s 3045)? What is the real sin of omission?
