Bible Study With Jarius-Leviticus 5

Differing guilt offerings reflect differing levels of spiritual maturity.
In Leviticus 5, the Israelites were instructed to bring a guilt offering in the following circumstances:
• Failing to witness in court
• Touching an unclean thing
• Touching human uncleanness
• Making a thoughtless or rash vow
In these situations, the worshiper was required to bring a guilt offering. As he did in other passages, God tenderly made allowances for Israelites who were weak and impoverished. Those who could not afford the standard guilt offering were given other options. If the person could not afford a lamb, he could bring two turtledoves; if he could not afford two birds, he could bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour.
