Leviticus 4:22 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.
Leviticus 4:23 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…. Leviticus 5: 17 And if a soul sins, and commits any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord; though he knows it not yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 4 Or if a soul swears, 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 knows of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
Then, the Bible addresses guilt that arises from the commission of deliberate sin, where a person knows full well what they are doing, and they do it anyway. This type of guilt is much more common than many folks realize, yet, God in His great mercy will forgive, once the prerequisites of confession and turning away are met…. Leviticus 6: 2 If a soul sins, and commits a trespass against the Lord, and lies unto his neighbor in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence or has deceived his neighbor;
Leviticus 6:3 Or have found that which was lost, and lies concerning it, and swears falsely; in any of all these that a man does, 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……
Leviticus 6:5 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 appertains, in the day of his trespass offering.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
