Leviticus 4-6
LEVITICUS 4
The Sin Offering
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Lev 4:27; Ps 19:12) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
When a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments
of the Lord that should not be done, and he violates one of them,
3 (Lev 4:14; 9:2) if the anointed priest sins, so as to bring guilt
on the people, he shall bring for his sin that he has committed
a bull without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.
4 (Lev 1:3-4) He shall bring the bull to the opening of the tent
of meeting before the Lord, and he shall lay his hand on the bull's head
and slaughter the bull before the Lord.
5 (Lev 16:14; 4:16-17) The anointed priest shall take some
of the bull's blood and bring it into the tent of meeting.
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle
some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil
of the sanctuary.
7 (Lev 8:15; 9:9; 16:18) Then the priest shall put some of the blood
on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord
which is in the tent of meeting, and shall pour the rest of the blood
of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering which is
at the door of the tent of meeting.
8 (Lev 3:3-5) Then he shall remove all the fat of the bull that is
for the sin offering - the fat that covers the entrails - and all the fat
that is on the entrails,
9 (Lev 3:4) and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them,
which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver
which he shall remove with the kidneys,
10 just as these are removed from the bull of the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.
11 (Nu 19:5; Ex 29:14) The skin of the bull, and all its flesh,
with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung,
12 (Heb 13:11; Ex 29:14) all the rest of the bull,
he shall bring outside the camp to a ritually clean
("Clean: and "unclean" refer to ceremonial aspects of places,
objects, or people.) place at the ash pile and burn it on wood
with fire. It shall be burned on the ash heap.
13 (Lev 5:17; 5:2-5) If the whole congregation of Israel
commits an unintentional sin, and the matter is hidden
from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things
that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,
and they are found guilty,
14 (Lev 4:3; 4:23) and the sin that they committed
against the commandment becomes known,
the congregation shall offer a bull for a sin offering,
and they will bring it before the tent of meeting.
15 (Lev 1:4) The elders of the congregation shall lay
their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord,
and the bull will be slaughtered before the Lord.
16 (Lev 4:5-12) The anointed priest shall bring
some of the bull's blood to the tent of meeting.
17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood
and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.
18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before
the Lord, which is in the tent of meeting, and he shall pour all the rest
of the blood at the base of the altar of the burnt offering that is
at the opening of the tent of meeting.
19 He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
20 (Nu 15:25; Heb 10:10-12) He shall do to this bull just
as he did to the bull of the sin offering;
this is what he will do to it.
And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
21 (Lev 16:15) He shall bring the bull outside the camp,
and he shall burn it just as he burned the first bull.
It is the sin offering of the congregation.
22 (Lev 4:2; 4:13) Whenever a leader sins,
and he does unintentionally any one of the things that
by the commandments of the Lord his God should not be done
and is found guilty,
23 (Lev 4:14) or his sin that he committed was made known to him,
he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish,
24 and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat,
and he shall slaughter it in the place where they slaughter
the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
25 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) The priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns
of the altar of the burnt offering, and he shall pour out its blood
at the base of the altar of the burnt offering.
26 (Lev 4:20; 3:5) And he shall burn all its fat on the altar,
like the fat of the peace sacrifice, and the priest shall make
atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.
27 (Lev 4:2; Nu 15:27; Lev 4:13) If any one of the common people
should sin unintentionally by doing one of the things
that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,
and is found guilty,
28 (Lev 4:23; 4:3; 4:32) or his sin that he committed
was made known to him, he shall bring as his offering
a female goat without blemish, for his sin that he committed.
29 (Lev 4:4; 4:24) He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering,
and he shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of its blood on his finger
and put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering,
and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.
31 (Lev 4:26; 4:35; 1:9) And he shall remove all its fat,
just as the fat is removed from the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the Lord,
and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.
32 (Lev 4:28; 1Pe 2:22; 3:18) And if he brings a sheep for a sin offering,
he shall bring a female without blemish,
33 and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and he shall
slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where they slaughter
the burnt offering.
34 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns
of the altar of the burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood
he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35 (Lev 4:26; 4:20) And he shall remove all the fat, just as
the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a food offering
to the Lord made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement
for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 4
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
[3] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the
people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young
bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
[4] And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's
head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
[5] And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
[6] And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the
blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
[7] And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar
of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the
congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of
the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
[8] And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin
offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon
the inwards,
[9] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take
away,
[10] As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace
offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt
offering.
[11] And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with
his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
[12] Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a
clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with
fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the
thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat
against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should
not be done, and are guilty;
[14] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before
the tabernacle of the congregation.
[15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head
of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the
LORD.
[16] And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to
the tabernacle of the congregation:
[17] And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle
it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.
[18] And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is
before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[19] And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
[20] And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement
for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
[21] And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as
he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
[22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against
any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should
not be done, and is guilty;
[23] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
[24] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the
place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin
offering.
[25] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
[26] And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the
sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
[27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he
doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
[28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he
shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for
his sin which he hath sinned.
[29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
[30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put
it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the
blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
[31] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away
from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon
the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an
atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
[32] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female
without blemish.
[33] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering
[34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
[35] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is
taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall
burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the
LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath
committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEVITICUS 5
The Guilt Offering
1 (Lev 5:17; Pr 29:24; Lev 7:18 )When a person sins in hearing the spoken
oath, and he is a witness, whether he saw or knew about the incident,
if he does not report it, he bears guilt.
2 (Lev 5:17; Dt 14:8) Or when a person touches any ceremonially unclean
thing, whether it is a carcass of unclean wildlife, or a carcass of
an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean crawling thing,
and he did not realize it, then he has become unclean and guilty.
3 (Lev 12:1-8; 15:1-33) Or when he touches human uncleanness,
any uncleanness by which he may become ceremonially unclean,
and he did not realize it, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.
4 (Jdg 11:31; 1Sa 25:22) Or when a person swears by speaking rashly
with his lips to do evil or to do good, anything that a man may speak
rashly by oath, and he did not realize it, but when he realizes it,
then he has become guilty of any of these things.
5 (Nu 5:7; Lev 16:21; 26:40) When he becomes guilty of one of these things,
he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing.
6 (Lev 4:28; 4:32) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord
for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or goat,
for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement
for him concerning his sin.
7 (Lev 12:8; 14:21-22) If he cannot afford an animal, then he shall
bring for his guilt offering, on account of the sin that he committed,
two turtledoves or two pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering
and one for a burnt offering.
8 (Lev 1:15; 1:17) He shall bring them to the priest who shall offer
the one for the sin offering first. He will wring off its head at
its neck, but he shall not sever it.
9 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin
offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be
poured out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 (Lev 1:14-17; 4:26; 4:20) But the second he shall treat as a burnt
offering according to the regulation. The priest shall make atonement
for him for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
11 (Nu 5:15; Lev 2:1-2) But if he cannot afford to bring two turtledoves
or two pigeons, he shall bring for his offering for the sin that
he committed one-tenth of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a sin offering. He shall not place olive oil on it,
nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12 (Lev 2:9; 2:2) Then he shall bring it to the priest,
and the priest shall scoop out a handful from it as a memorial portion
and burn it on the altar as a food offering to the Lord made by fire.
It is a sin offering.
13 (Lev 2:3; 4:26) The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his sin that he committed from any of these offenses, and he shall be
forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.
Offerings With Restitution
14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15 (Ex 30:13; Lev 4:2) When a person acts unfaithfully and sins
unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord,
then for his restitution offering to the Lord he shall bring a ram
without blemish from the flock - or its equivalent, in your estimation,
in silver shekels (using the sanctuary shekel
(About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.))
-for a guilt offering.
16 (Lev 22:14; Nu 5:7) And he shall repay the sin that he committed
with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give
it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram
of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
17 (Lev 4:13; 4:27) If a person sins unintentionally
and does any one of the things that by commandments
of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty,
he shall bear his iniquity.
18 (Lev 5:15-16) He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish
from the flock - or its equivalent value
(This is a shorthand version of the full formula found in Lev 5:15.)
-for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.
19 It is a guilt offering: He has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.
Leviticus 5
[1] And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness,
whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall
bear his iniquity.
[2] Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an
unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean
creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and
guilty.
[3] Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that
a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of
it, then he shall be guilty.
[4] Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good,
whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from
him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
[5] And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he
shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which
he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a
sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his
sin.
[7] And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his
trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
[8] And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is
for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall
not divide it asunder:
[9] And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of
the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the
altar: it is a sin offering.
[10] And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he
hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
[11] But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah
of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall
he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
[12] Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his
handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according
to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
[13] And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that
he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the
remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[15] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy
things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram
without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver,
after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
[16] And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy
thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest:
and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass
offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
[17] And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden
to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he
guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
[18] And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall
make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist
it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
[19] It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the
LORD.
LEVITICUS 6
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 22:7 - 10; Lev 19:11) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against
the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage,
or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor,
3 (Ex 23:4; Lev 19:12) or by finding a lost item and lying about it,
and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man
may do to sin in these things,
4 when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole,
or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him,
or the lost item which he found,
5 (Lev 5:16; Nu 5:7-8) or about which he swore falsely, then he shall
repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to
whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty.
6 (Lev 5:15; 5:18) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord,
a ram without blemish from the flock -
(or its equivalent value (Shorthand version of the
full formula found in Lev 5:15.))
- for a guilt offering to the priest.
7 (Lev 4:26) And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and
he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.
The Law of the Burnt Offering
8 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
9 (Nu 28:3; Ex 29:38-42) Command Aaron and his sons, saying:
This is the law for the burnt offering.
The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night
until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
10 (Ex 28:39-43; Lev 16:4) The priest shall put on his linen robe,
and his linen undergarments on his body.
Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire
of the burnt offering on the altar,
and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 (Lev 4:12; Eze 44:19) Then he shall take off his garments
and put on other garments, and he shall bring the ashes outside
the camp to a clean place.
12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out.
The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange
the burnt offering on it, and he shall burn the fat of
the peace offerings on it.
13 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar.
It shall never go out.
The Law of the Grain Offering
14 (Nu 15:4) This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron
shall offer it before the Lord on the altar.
15 (Lev 2:2; 2:9) He shall take from it a handful of the flour
of the grain offering, and of the oil and all the frankincense
which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar
for a pleasing aroma as a memorial to the Lord.
16 (Lev 2:3; Eze 44:29) Aaron and his sons shall eat the remainder of it;
it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place.
They shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.
17 (Lev 2:11; 6:25) It shall not be baked with leaven.
I have given it to them for their portion of My food offerings made by fire.
It is most holy, as is the sin offering and as is the guilt offering.
18 (Lev 6:29; Nu 18:10) All the males among the children of Aaron shall
eat of it. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations concerning
the food offerings of the Lord made by fire.
Everyone who touches them shall become holy.
19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
20 (Ex 16:36; 29:2) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which
they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed:
a tenth part of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning
and half at night.
21 (Lev 2:5; 7:9) It shall be made on a griddle with olive oil.
When it is well mixed, you shall bring it; and the baked pieces
of the grain offering you shall offer as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
22 The priest from among the sons of Aaron who is anointed to succeed
him shall offer it. It is a perpetual statute to the Lord.
It shall be completely burned up.
23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be completely burned up.
It shall not be eaten.
The Law of the Sin Offering
24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
25 (Lev 4:24; 1:11; 1:3) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying:
This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt
offering is killed shall the sin offering also be killed
before the Lord. It is most holy.
26 (Lev 10:17-18; Eze 44:28-29) The priest who offers it
for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten
in the court of the tent of meeting.
27 (Ex 29:37) Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy,
and when blood is sprinkled on any garment,
you shall wash it in a holy place.
28 (Lev 11:33; 15:12) And the clay vessel where it is boiled
shall be broken, and if it is boiled in a bronze pot,
it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water.
29 All the males among the priests shall eat from this offering.
It is most holy.
30 (Lev 4:3-21; 10:18) Any sin offering where blood is brought
into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place
shall not be eaten. It shall be burned up in the fire.
Leviticus 6
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his
neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a
thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
[3] Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth
falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
[4] Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath
deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost
thing which he found,
[5] Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it
in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it
unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto
the priest:
[7] And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing
therein.
[8] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[9] Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt
offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar
all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in
it.
[10] And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches
shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath
consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside
the altar.
[11] And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry
forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
[12] And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put
out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt
offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace
offerings.
[13] The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
[14] And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer
it before the LORD, before the altar.
[15] And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering,
and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat
offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the
memorial of it, unto the LORD.
[16] And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened
bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of
the congregation they shall eat it.
[17] It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their
portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin
offering, and as the trespass offering.
[18] All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be
a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD
made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
[19] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[20] This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer
unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of
fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and
half thereof at night.
[21] In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt
bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for
a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[22] And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer
it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD, it shall be wholly burnt.
[23] For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall
not be eaten.
[24] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[25] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin
offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin
offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.
[26] The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place
shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[27] Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there
is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that
whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
[28] But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it
be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
[29] All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
[30] And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the
tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall
be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.

Romans 12:1-5
The New Life in Christ
1 (1Pe 2:5; Ro 6:13; 6:16) I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies
of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy,
and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship.
2 (Ro 12:1; 1Pe 1:14) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good
and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3 (Ro 1:5; 11:20) For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone among
you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think
with sound judgment, according to the measure of faith God has distributed
to every man.
4 (1Co 12:12-14) For just as we have many parts in one body,
and not all parts have the same function,
5 (1Co 10:17; 12:20) so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and all are parts of one another.
Christian Living
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think
soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office:
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members
one of another.
In a small farming community, news travels fast. Several years after the bank
sold the farm David's family had owned for decades, he learned the property
would be available for sale. After much sacrifice and saving, David arrived
at the auction and joined a crowd of nearly two hundred local farmers. Would
David's meager bid be enough? He placed the first bid, taking deep breaths as
the auctioneer called for higher bids. The crowd remained silent until they
heard the slam of the gavel. The fellow farmers placed the needs of David and
his family above their own financial advancement.
This story about the farmers' sacrificial act of kindness demonstrates the way
the apostle Paul urges followers of Christ to live. Paul warns us not to
conform to the "pattern of this world" (Romans 12:2), by placing our selfish
desires before the needs of others and scrambling for self-preservation.
Instead, we can trust God to meet our needs as we serve others. As the Holy
Spirit renews our minds, we can respond to situations with God-honoring love
and motives. Placing others first can help us avoid thinking too highly of
ourselves as God reminds us that we’re a part of something bigger-the church (vv. 3-4).
The Holy Spirit helps believers understand and obey the Scriptures. He
empowers us to give selflessly and love generously, so we can thrive
together as one.
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
How can you place someone else’s needs before your own?
How has your faith been impacted by someone placing your needs
before their own?
Father God, please rid me of my selfishness
so I can love selflessly
and stand as one with my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 3 The Kind Heart of Forgiveness
Eph 4:32
32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12-13; Mt 6:12) And be kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Don had lost his job because he stood against his boss and refused to
compromise his Christian principles. Certain friends in the company had
turned against him, choosing to save their own jobs at any cost,
and he felt very alone, abandoned when he most needed the support
of those who cared.
But Don showed no signs of bitterness or unforgiveness. He refused to
recite the details of his firing to those around him, saying simply and
honestly, " I believe my boss was wrong in what he did. But God can show
him." The kindness of Don's heart ., and the tenderness with which he
extended forgiveness, became a testimony to all who knew him. Don's
boss never "saw the light", never repented, but Don lived in the freedom of
forgiving.
Comparison is a rare commodity among Christains today. We seem to be
overstocked with judgment and crammed full of condemnation, but we have
little space in the corners of our lives for tenderheartedness. We are quick
to assume that we know another person's heart and have the remedy for
the problem, rather then giving that person the benefit of the doubt,
the room to grow, the freedom to make a mistake and seek forgiveness.
Jesus demonstrated the king compassion necessary in forgiveness when he
looked down at the soldiers who has crucified him, gambling at his feet
for his cloak, and said, "Father , forgive them, for they do not know what
are doing."
When others hurt and betray us, they often "do not know what they are
doing." we can, in Christ, offer compassionate forgiveness to them -
not condoning their actions or excusing their wrong, but forgiving ,
in the simplicity and purity of God's love.
Application
a) What is the difference between excusing a wrong and forgiving?
b) How has God forgiven me for Christ's sake?
c) What does today's verse tell me about my attitude in forgiveness?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Romans 13:7-8
7 (Mt 17:25; 22:21) Render to all what is due them: taxes to whom taxes
are due, respect to whom respect is due, fear to whom fear is due,
and honor to whom honor is due.
8 (Ro 13:10; Mt 7:12) Owe no one anything, except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Eternal Faithfulness
Ps 117
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations! Exalt Him, all you peoples!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For His merciful kindness is great toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
1 O praise the LORD,
All ye nations: Praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us:
And the truth of the LORD endureth for ever.
Praise ye the LORD.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Leviticus 4-6
LEVITICUS 4
The Sin Offering
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Lev 4:27; Ps 19:12) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
When a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments
of the Lord that should not be done, and he violates one of them,
3 (Lev 4:14; 9:2) if the anointed priest sins, so as to bring guilt
on the people, he shall bring for his sin that he has committed
a bull without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.
4 (Lev 1:3-4) He shall bring the bull to the opening of the tent
of meeting before the Lord, and he shall lay his hand on the bull's head
and slaughter the bull before the Lord.
5 (Lev 16:14; 4:16-17) The anointed priest shall take some
of the bull's blood and bring it into the tent of meeting.
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle
some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil
of the sanctuary.
7 (Lev 8:15; 9:9; 16:18) Then the priest shall put some of the blood
on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord
which is in the tent of meeting, and shall pour the rest of the blood
of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering which is
at the door of the tent of meeting.
8 (Lev 3:3-5) Then he shall remove all the fat of the bull that is
for the sin offering - the fat that covers the entrails - and all the fat
that is on the entrails,
9 (Lev 3:4) and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them,
which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver
which he shall remove with the kidneys,
10 just as these are removed from the bull of the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.
11 (Nu 19:5; Ex 29:14) The skin of the bull, and all its flesh,
with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung,
12 (Heb 13:11; Ex 29:14) all the rest of the bull,
he shall bring outside the camp to a ritually clean
("Clean: and "unclean" refer to ceremonial aspects of places,
objects, or people.) place at the ash pile and burn it on wood
with fire. It shall be burned on the ash heap.
13 (Lev 5:17; 5:2-5) If the whole congregation of Israel
commits an unintentional sin, and the matter is hidden
from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things
that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,
and they are found guilty,
14 (Lev 4:3; 4:23) and the sin that they committed
against the commandment becomes known,
the congregation shall offer a bull for a sin offering,
and they will bring it before the tent of meeting.
15 (Lev 1:4) The elders of the congregation shall lay
their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord,
and the bull will be slaughtered before the Lord.
16 (Lev 4:5-12) The anointed priest shall bring
some of the bull's blood to the tent of meeting.
17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood
and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.
18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before
the Lord, which is in the tent of meeting, and he shall pour all the rest
of the blood at the base of the altar of the burnt offering that is
at the opening of the tent of meeting.
19 He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
20 (Nu 15:25; Heb 10:10-12) He shall do to this bull just
as he did to the bull of the sin offering;
this is what he will do to it.
And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
21 (Lev 16:15) He shall bring the bull outside the camp,
and he shall burn it just as he burned the first bull.
It is the sin offering of the congregation.
22 (Lev 4:2; 4:13) Whenever a leader sins,
and he does unintentionally any one of the things that
by the commandments of the Lord his God should not be done
and is found guilty,
23 (Lev 4:14) or his sin that he committed was made known to him,
he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish,
24 and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat,
and he shall slaughter it in the place where they slaughter
the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
25 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) The priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns
of the altar of the burnt offering, and he shall pour out its blood
at the base of the altar of the burnt offering.
26 (Lev 4:20; 3:5) And he shall burn all its fat on the altar,
like the fat of the peace sacrifice, and the priest shall make
atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.
27 (Lev 4:2; Nu 15:27; Lev 4:13) If any one of the common people
should sin unintentionally by doing one of the things
that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,
and is found guilty,
28 (Lev 4:23; 4:3; 4:32) or his sin that he committed
was made known to him, he shall bring as his offering
a female goat without blemish, for his sin that he committed.
29 (Lev 4:4; 4:24) He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering,
and he shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of its blood on his finger
and put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering,
and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.
31 (Lev 4:26; 4:35; 1:9) And he shall remove all its fat,
just as the fat is removed from the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the Lord,
and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.
32 (Lev 4:28; 1Pe 2:22; 3:18) And if he brings a sheep for a sin offering,
he shall bring a female without blemish,
33 and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and he shall
slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where they slaughter
the burnt offering.
34 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns
of the altar of the burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood
he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35 (Lev 4:26; 4:20) And he shall remove all the fat, just as
the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a food offering
to the Lord made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement
for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 4
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
[3] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the
people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young
bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
[4] And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's
head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
[5] And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
[6] And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the
blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
[7] And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar
of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the
congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of
the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
[8] And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin
offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon
the inwards,
[9] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take
away,
[10] As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace
offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt
offering.
[11] And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with
his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
[12] Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a
clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with
fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the
thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat
against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should
not be done, and are guilty;
[14] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before
the tabernacle of the congregation.
[15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head
of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the
LORD.
[16] And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to
the tabernacle of the congregation:
[17] And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle
it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.
[18] And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is
before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[19] And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
[20] And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement
for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
[21] And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as
he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
[22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against
any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should
not be done, and is guilty;
[23] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
[24] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the
place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin
offering.
[25] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
[26] And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the
sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
[27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he
doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
[28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he
shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for
his sin which he hath sinned.
[29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
[30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put
it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the
blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
[31] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away
from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon
the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an
atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
[32] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female
without blemish.
[33] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering
[34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
[35] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is
taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall
burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the
LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath
committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
LEVITICUS 5
The Guilt Offering
1 (Lev 5:17; Pr 29:24; Lev 7:18 )When a person sins in hearing the spoken
oath, and he is a witness, whether he saw or knew about the incident,
if he does not report it, he bears guilt.
2 (Lev 5:17; Dt 14:8) Or when a person touches any ceremonially unclean
thing, whether it is a carcass of unclean wildlife, or a carcass of
an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean crawling thing,
and he did not realize it, then he has become unclean and guilty.
3 (Lev 12:1-8; 15:1-33) Or when he touches human uncleanness,
any uncleanness by which he may become ceremonially unclean,
and he did not realize it, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.
4 (Jdg 11:31; 1Sa 25:22) Or when a person swears by speaking rashly
with his lips to do evil or to do good, anything that a man may speak
rashly by oath, and he did not realize it, but when he realizes it,
then he has become guilty of any of these things.
5 (Nu 5:7; Lev 16:21; 26:40) When he becomes guilty of one of these things,
he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing.
6 (Lev 4:28; 4:32) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord
for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or goat,
for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement
for him concerning his sin.
7 (Lev 12:8; 14:21-22) If he cannot afford an animal, then he shall
bring for his guilt offering, on account of the sin that he committed,
two turtledoves or two pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering
and one for a burnt offering.
8 (Lev 1:15; 1:17) He shall bring them to the priest who shall offer
the one for the sin offering first. He will wring off its head at
its neck, but he shall not sever it.
9 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin
offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be
poured out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 (Lev 1:14-17; 4:26; 4:20) But the second he shall treat as a burnt
offering according to the regulation. The priest shall make atonement
for him for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
11 (Nu 5:15; Lev 2:1-2) But if he cannot afford to bring two turtledoves
or two pigeons, he shall bring for his offering for the sin that
he committed one-tenth of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a sin offering. He shall not place olive oil on it,
nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12 (Lev 2:9; 2:2) Then he shall bring it to the priest,
and the priest shall scoop out a handful from it as a memorial portion
and burn it on the altar as a food offering to the Lord made by fire.
It is a sin offering.
13 (Lev 2:3; 4:26) The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his sin that he committed from any of these offenses, and he shall be
forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.
Offerings With Restitution
14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15 (Ex 30:13; Lev 4:2) When a person acts unfaithfully and sins
unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord,
then for his restitution offering to the Lord he shall bring a ram
without blemish from the flock - or its equivalent, in your estimation,
in silver shekels (using the sanctuary shekel
(About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.))
-for a guilt offering.
16 (Lev 22:14; Nu 5:7) And he shall repay the sin that he committed
with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give
it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram
of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.
17 (Lev 4:13; 4:27) If a person sins unintentionally
and does any one of the things that by commandments
of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty,
he shall bear his iniquity.
18 (Lev 5:15-16) He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish
from the flock - or its equivalent value
(This is a shorthand version of the full formula found in Lev 5:15.)
-for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning
his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.
19 It is a guilt offering: He has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.
Leviticus 5
[1] And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness,
whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall
bear his iniquity.
[2] Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an
unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean
creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and
guilty.
[3] Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that
a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of
it, then he shall be guilty.
[4] Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good,
whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from
him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
[5] And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he
shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which
he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a
sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his
sin.
[7] And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his
trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
[8] And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is
for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall
not divide it asunder:
[9] And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of
the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the
altar: it is a sin offering.
[10] And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he
hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
[11] But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah
of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall
he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
[12] Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his
handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according
to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
[13] And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that
he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the
remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[15] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy
things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram
without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver,
after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
[16] And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy
thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest:
and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass
offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
[17] And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden
to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he
guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
[18] And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy
estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall
make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist
it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
[19] It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the
LORD.
LEVITICUS 6
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Ex 22:7 - 10; Lev 19:11) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against
the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage,
or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor,
3 (Ex 23:4; Lev 19:12) or by finding a lost item and lying about it,
and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man
may do to sin in these things,
4 when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole,
or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him,
or the lost item which he found,
5 (Lev 5:16; Nu 5:7-8) or about which he swore falsely, then he shall
repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to
whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty.
6 (Lev 5:15; 5:18) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord,
a ram without blemish from the flock -
(or its equivalent value (Shorthand version of the
full formula found in Lev 5:15.))
- for a guilt offering to the priest.
7 (Lev 4:26) And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and
he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.
The Law of the Burnt Offering
8 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
9 (Nu 28:3; Ex 29:38-42) Command Aaron and his sons, saying:
This is the law for the burnt offering.
The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night
until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
10 (Ex 28:39-43; Lev 16:4) The priest shall put on his linen robe,
and his linen undergarments on his body.
Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire
of the burnt offering on the altar,
and he shall put them beside the altar.
11 (Lev 4:12; Eze 44:19) Then he shall take off his garments
and put on other garments, and he shall bring the ashes outside
the camp to a clean place.
12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out.
The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange
the burnt offering on it, and he shall burn the fat of
the peace offerings on it.
13 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar.
It shall never go out.
The Law of the Grain Offering
14 (Nu 15:4) This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron
shall offer it before the Lord on the altar.
15 (Lev 2:2; 2:9) He shall take from it a handful of the flour
of the grain offering, and of the oil and all the frankincense
which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar
for a pleasing aroma as a memorial to the Lord.
16 (Lev 2:3; Eze 44:29) Aaron and his sons shall eat the remainder of it;
it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place.
They shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.

I have given it to them for their portion of My food offerings made by fire.
It is most holy, as is the sin offering and as is the guilt offering.

eat of it. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations concerning
the food offerings of the Lord made by fire.
Everyone who touches them shall become holy.
19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
20 (Ex 16:36; 29:2) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which
they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed:
a tenth part of an ephah
(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)
of wheat flour for a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning
and half at night.
21 (Lev 2:5; 7:9) It shall be made on a griddle with olive oil.
When it is well mixed, you shall bring it; and the baked pieces
of the grain offering you shall offer as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
22 The priest from among the sons of Aaron who is anointed to succeed
him shall offer it. It is a perpetual statute to the Lord.
It shall be completely burned up.
23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be completely burned up.
It shall not be eaten.
The Law of the Sin Offering
24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

offering is killed shall the sin offering also be killed
before the Lord. It is most holy.

It is most holy.

into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place
shall not be eaten. It shall be burned up in the fire.
Leviticus 6
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his
neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a
thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
[3] Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth
falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
[4] Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath
deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost
thing which he found,
[5] Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it
in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it
unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto
the priest:
[7] And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it
shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing
therein.
[8] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[9] Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt
offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar
all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in
it.
[10] And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches
shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath
consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside
the altar.
[11] And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry
forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
[12] And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put
out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt
offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace
offerings.
[13] The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
[14] And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer
it before the LORD, before the altar.
[15] And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering,
and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat
offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the
memorial of it, unto the LORD.
[16] And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened
bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of
the congregation they shall eat it.
[17] It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their
portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin
offering, and as the trespass offering.
[18] All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be
a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD
made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
[19] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[20] This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer
unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of
fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and
half thereof at night.
[21] In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt
bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for
a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[22] And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer
it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD, it shall be wholly burnt.
[23] For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall
not be eaten.
[24] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[25] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin
offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin
offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.
[26] The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place
shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[27] Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there
is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that
whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
[28] But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it
be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
[29] All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
[30] And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the
tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall
be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.

Romans 12:1-5
The New Life in Christ
1 (1Pe 2:5; Ro 6:13; 6:16) I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies
of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy,
and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship.
2 (Ro 12:1; 1Pe 1:14) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good
and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3 (Ro 1:5; 11:20) For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone among
you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think
with sound judgment, according to the measure of faith God has distributed
to every man.
4 (1Co 12:12-14) For just as we have many parts in one body,
and not all parts have the same function,
5 (1Co 10:17; 12:20) so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and all are parts of one another.
Christian Living
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think
soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office:
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members
one of another.
In a small farming community, news travels fast. Several years after the bank
sold the farm David's family had owned for decades, he learned the property
would be available for sale. After much sacrifice and saving, David arrived
at the auction and joined a crowd of nearly two hundred local farmers. Would
David's meager bid be enough? He placed the first bid, taking deep breaths as
the auctioneer called for higher bids. The crowd remained silent until they
heard the slam of the gavel. The fellow farmers placed the needs of David and
his family above their own financial advancement.
This story about the farmers' sacrificial act of kindness demonstrates the way
the apostle Paul urges followers of Christ to live. Paul warns us not to
conform to the "pattern of this world" (Romans 12:2), by placing our selfish
desires before the needs of others and scrambling for self-preservation.
Instead, we can trust God to meet our needs as we serve others. As the Holy
Spirit renews our minds, we can respond to situations with God-honoring love
and motives. Placing others first can help us avoid thinking too highly of
ourselves as God reminds us that we’re a part of something bigger-the church (vv. 3-4).
The Holy Spirit helps believers understand and obey the Scriptures. He
empowers us to give selflessly and love generously, so we can thrive
together as one.
By: Xochitl Dixon
Reflect & Pray
How can you place someone else’s needs before your own?
How has your faith been impacted by someone placing your needs
before their own?
Father God, please rid me of my selfishness
so I can love selflessly
and stand as one with my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 3 The Kind Heart of Forgiveness
Eph 4:32
32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12-13; Mt 6:12) And be kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Don had lost his job because he stood against his boss and refused to
compromise his Christian principles. Certain friends in the company had
turned against him, choosing to save their own jobs at any cost,
and he felt very alone, abandoned when he most needed the support
of those who cared.
But Don showed no signs of bitterness or unforgiveness. He refused to
recite the details of his firing to those around him, saying simply and
honestly, " I believe my boss was wrong in what he did. But God can show
him." The kindness of Don's heart ., and the tenderness with which he
extended forgiveness, became a testimony to all who knew him. Don's
boss never "saw the light", never repented, but Don lived in the freedom of
forgiving.
Comparison is a rare commodity among Christains today. We seem to be
overstocked with judgment and crammed full of condemnation, but we have
little space in the corners of our lives for tenderheartedness. We are quick
to assume that we know another person's heart and have the remedy for
the problem, rather then giving that person the benefit of the doubt,
the room to grow, the freedom to make a mistake and seek forgiveness.
Jesus demonstrated the king compassion necessary in forgiveness when he
looked down at the soldiers who has crucified him, gambling at his feet
for his cloak, and said, "Father , forgive them, for they do not know what
are doing."
When others hurt and betray us, they often "do not know what they are
doing." we can, in Christ, offer compassionate forgiveness to them -
not condoning their actions or excusing their wrong, but forgiving ,
in the simplicity and purity of God's love.
Application
a) What is the difference between excusing a wrong and forgiving?
b) How has God forgiven me for Christ's sake?
c) What does today's verse tell me about my attitude in forgiveness?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Romans 13:7-8
7 (Mt 17:25; 22:21) Render to all what is due them: taxes to whom taxes
are due, respect to whom respect is due, fear to whom fear is due,
and honor to whom honor is due.
8 (Ro 13:10; Mt 7:12) Owe no one anything, except to love one another,
for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
