I. The Compulsory Sin Offering
The "Sin Offering" provided atonement for the sin of the priest, for the congregation, for the ruler and
for the people. (Lev.9:1-2, Num.6:11; 8:5-8, Deut.12:1-16, Josh.22:1-29, Ezra.8:35, Neh.10:33, Ezk.45:17) Paul,
the apostle and "wise master builder" (i.e. architect) interprets Christ to be the reality of the sacrificed
"Passover Lamb," who was "made sin (the Sin Offering) for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Him." (2Cor.5:7-8, Exod.12:1-14, 1Cor.5:7-8) Note: Christ was without "blemish."
(1Peter.1:19) This was a compulsory offering. There were no options given! This pattern has not
changed! Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. (John.14:6) There is no other "sacrifice for sins."
(Heb.10:26)
A. This foreshadows our"spiritual sacrifice"for sin passed on by Adam.
1. Adams sin passed on to all men
a. By one man sin entered the world (Rom.5:12)
b. Death / sin is passed on to all men (Rom.5:12)
2. This also foreshadows sin after we have beensaved
"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if (If we sin, not whenRom.6:1-12)
any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation
for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." (1John.2:1-2)However we do
sin.
a. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
(Rom.6:12)
b. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves
unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness
unto God. (Rom.6:13)
c. For whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)
d. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
(1Cor.8:12)
e. Jesus is a "merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for
the sins of the people" (Heb.2:17) because we still sin. (1John.1:7-10; 2:1)
A. We must offer the Sin Offering first
Without accepting Christ as our Sin Offering, all our offerings are rejected as Cain's was. (Gen.4:1-4,
1John.3:12, John.10:1-10) He offered the "Meal Offering," the "fruit of the ground." (Lev.2:1-3 a correct
offering, but out of order. (1Cor.14:40) Abel's offering was a "more excellent sacrifice." (Heb.11:4) The
blood and body of a Lamb, the firstlings of his flock." (Gen.4:1-4)
B. Watch out for the counterfeit Sin Offering!
In the "ensample" (type - 1Cor.10:11) of the "church in the wilderness," (Acts.7:38) the brazen serpent (that
foreshadowed Christ being made sin for us - Num.21:4-9, John.3:14-16, 2Cor.5:21) was turned into an idol
(another Jesus) that opposed God. (2Kings.18:4)
1. Watch out for another Jesus (another Sin Offering)
There were false apostles coming into the Corinthian Church preaching "another Jesus." (The god of
this world's) counterfeit "Sin Offering."- 2Cor.4:4; 11:1-15, Isa.14:14)
a. There is no other Altar that God recognizes
Any offering that ignores the true Altar, the sacrifice of Christ, the shedding of Christ's blood, the
sweet smelling savor and has any blemish, is another Jesus.
b. Certain men have crept in unawares
In the 1st. Century Jude was warning the Church that there were those the preached "another
Jesus, "another Sin Offering. "For there are certain men crept in unawares...turning the grace of our
God into lasciviousness..." (Jude.1:4) and "denying the Lord that bought them." (2Peter.2:1)
2. Watch out for another Gospel
The Churches of Galatia were being "removed from...Christ unto another gospel..." and were
perverting the gospel of Christ. (Gal.1:6-9)
II. There were standard requirements for each offering
The children of Israel called "the Church in the wilderness," (Acts.7:38) and their typical actions were "for
our (The Church, the Body of Christ - Eph.1:22-23, Col.1:18) ensamples: (types) and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." (1Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4) The reality or the fulfillment
(Matt.5:17-19, Rom.3:31, Heb.9:1-26) of these standards are the same for the Church today. The pattern has not
changed!
A. The Sin Offering was consumed by fire!
1. God's Word is a fire!
Is not "my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh (breaks) the rock in
pieces?" (Jer 23:29, 1Cor.3:13-15)
2. The Holy Ghost is a fire!
He "shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire." (Matt.3:11-12, Isa.4:4) The Spirit (Holy Ghost) and
The Word always work together. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth
was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God (fire)
moved upon the face of the waters. And God(John.1:1) said, (The Word John.1:1-14, Heb.) Let there be
light: and there was light." (Gen.1: 1-2)
3. The Holy Ghost always works together with the Word of God
For "the day" ("the day" of atonementHeb.10:25) shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire;
and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." (1Cor.3:13-15, Isa.4:4) Beloved, "think it not
strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"
(1 Peter 4:12-13) It is all part of the preparation to be the Bride. Don't jump off the altar when the heat is
on! Note: Your Sin Offering will be tested by the consuming fire of the Word of God. Jesus said, "He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the
same shall judge him in the last day." (John 12:48)
B. The Sin Offering was placed on the only altar
Whatsoever "man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that
offereth a burnt offering of sacrifice, And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
to offer it unto the Lord; even that man shall be cut off from among his people." (Lev 17:8-9)
1. Jesus is the "Altar?"
Today, most think of "the altar" as being a bench in the front of the Church. However, the "Most
High dwelleth not in Temples made with hands."(Acts.7:47-48) There is no sacred property in the New
Testament. We are the "holy Temple." (Eph.2:20-22, 1Peter.2:5) We are the ground. (2Cor.4:7) The "altar"
that God recognizes under the New Covenant (Testament) is the Lord Jesus Christ. (Heb.13:10)
2. The altar was the only place of sacrifice.(Lev.17:1-11, 1Peter.1:18-20)
The altar was the only place where blood was shed to provide atonement. (Lev.17:1-11, Exod.30:9,
John.14:6, 1Tim.2:5) Man-made "altar's" could never do this! Even in the Tabernacle model, God said that
He had "no pleasure" because it could never take away sin. (Heb.10:1-10) Your Sin Offering must be upon
the Altar of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are offering upon any other altar than the Lord Jesus Christ your
offering in for nothing.
C. The Sin Offering required sacrifice and the shedding of blood
Our justification before God is always through the atoning blood of the The Lord Jesus Christ. Adam and
Eve "sewed fig leaves," (Gen.3:7) but God slew an animal and covered their sin with "coats of skin" (Gen.3:21,
Heb.4:13) Forasmuch "as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from
your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot." (1Peter.1:18-20, Col.1:14) Your Sin Offering must be through
the shed blood of Christ
D. The Sin Offering required the sweetsmelling odor
Every offering was to have "a sweet savour unto the Lord." (Gen.8:21, Lev.1:9; 2:2; 3:5; 4:31) "Christ...hath
given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour." (Eph.5:1-2, 2Cor.2:15)
This "sweet savor" (Amos.5:21-23) made the offering acceptable to God. Peter writes our "spiritual sacrifices,
(are) acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." (1Peter.2:5, Note: Phil.4:18-19 "odor of a sweetsmelling savor") If you
are giving "preeminence" (i.e. to be first above the "philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.- Col 2:8) then you Sin Offering is rejected. Your Sin
Offering must have the "preeminence" of a "sweetsmelling savor of Christ.
E. Only the priests could offer the Sin Offering
In the Old Testament "ensample" (type, shadow, figure, blueprint) "the priests, Aaron's sons. shall bring
the blood and sprinkle the blood..." (Lev.1:5, 7, 11; 2:2, 9; 3:2, 8; 4:7)
1. Only those born into the House of Levi
a. Jeroboam - There were those the assume the office of a priest, and were rejected. (1Kings.12:30-33;
13:16, 2Chron.26:16-23, 1Sam.13:12; 15:1-35) No "strangers!"
2. No unbeliever! No unsaved!
God still requires that we be found in the correct "register" and "genealogy." (Num.1:47-54, Eph.2:11-19)
that begins in Christ Jesus. (John.3:1-8, 2Cor.5:17-21) If you are not a priest your Sin Offering is for nothing.
God will never "deny Himself!" (2Tim.2:13) He will never deny His Word! He will never deny the patterns in
His Word!
Note: The harmony with Law and Grace. "For the law [of the Sin Offering] was given by Moses, but
grace and truth(Rom.5:10-21, 1 Cor.5:7-8; 6:19-20, Heb.9:1-10) came by Jesus Christ." (John.1:17) Meaning
that Jesus was sacrificed as our sin, fulfilled (Matt.5:17-19) this law of the Sin Offering. Rom.8:1-4)
F. This Sin offering must be unblemished(Lev.22:21-22)
This is what the Prophet Malachi was speaking to the House of Judah. He prophesied "Ye offer polluted
bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is
contemptible. And if ye (you) offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it
not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of
hosts." (Mal 1:7-8) This is robbing God! (Mal.3:8) .
1. This Sin Offering must not be "bind."(Lev.22:21-23)
The blemish of "blindness" (2Peter.1:5-9, Matt.13:10-17, Eph.1:18) Some translations use "heart" instead of "eyes." This does not change the thought of our lack of understanding is being blind. (Matt.13:16,
Luke.24:16, 25-31, 2Cor.3:13-16, Eph.4:18) To offer a "spiritual sacrifice" (i.e. The Sin, Trespass, Burnt, Meal
or Peace Offering) devoid of the Word of God is a blemish of blindness, and is robbing God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8) Note: Matt.23:23
2. The Sin Offering cannot be "broken" (Lev.22:22-23)
Unfaithfulness. (Prov.25:19) To offer any of these five offerings with unfaithfulness in our life towards
God is a blemished offering (Eph.5:26-27) and is robbing God.(Mal.1:8; 3:8) Note: Matt.23:23
3. The Sin Offering must not be "maimed"(Lev.22:22-23)
Maimed is to be crippled or damaged. English: is to mutilate, disfigure, or wound seriously. The Hebrew
word is to point sharply, i.e. (literally) to wound. To offer any crippled offering is to deprive yourself the of
capability for service or of strength, efficiency, or wholeness.
4. Cannot be an offering "having a wen"(Lev.22:22-23)
Having an offering that is mutilated, disfigured, or wounded seriously is robbing God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8 /
Note: Matt.23:23) Paul spoke of those the "corrupt the Word of God (2Cor.2:17) Jude wrote, that there
were "certain men crept in unawares...turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and denying the only
Lord God, and or Lord Jesus Christ." (Jude.1:4) These "certain men" were disfiguring the Grace of God.
5. The Sin Offering cannot have "scurvy"(Lev.22:22-23)
The word "Scurvy" is from an unused root meaning to scratch;[ to scrape or rub oneself lightly (as
to relieve itching) scurf (from itching) In these "last days," there are those that "heap to themselves
teachers itching ears," because they will not "endure sound doctrine." (2Tim.4:3) When we offer our
"spiritual" sacrifices with the "scurvy" of the doctrines of men that appease our flesh, it is "robbing"
God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8)
6. The Sin Offering must not be "scabbed"(Lev.22:22-23)
"Scabbed"- is to stick or scrape; scurf [thin dry scales detached from the epidermis especially in an
abnormal skin condition; specifically : dandruff] or tetter [any of various vesicular skin diseases (as
ringworm, eczema, and herpes) Our "spiritual sacrifice / offering" must be without the blemish of
allowing yourself to be infected by the popular opinion, trends, fads that infect the Church world, rather
than abiding by the principles and patterns of God's Word (2Sam.15:24-29./v.17, 1Sam.15:24; 16:7,
2Cor.4:18) To offer a "spiritually sacrifice" that is "scabbed," is a blemished offering and robbing God.
(Mal.1:8; 3:8)
7. No "superfluous thing"(Lev.22:22-23)
"Superfluous"- is to prolong, i.e. (reflex) be deformed by excess of members. Our "spiritual offering
must be free of "excess" in our lives. In our walk before the Lord must be in moderation (Phil.4:5 -
[appropriate, i.e. (by implication) mild] 1Cor.13:4, Matt.23:12, 1Peter.5:6) or else it is blemished and robbing
God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8)
8. The Sin Offering must give off a "sweet smelling savor." (Lev.1:9; 2:2; 3:5, 16; 4:31, Eph.5:1-2,
Phil.4:18) Our offering must have the sweet smelling savor of Christ. (Eph.5:1-2, 2Cor.2:14-16)
9. The Sin Offering must be offered by a "Priest." (Num.1:47-54, Lev.1:9, 15; 2:2; 3:2, 16. 1Peter.2:5,
Rev.1:6) We become priests when we are born again.
10. The Sin Offering must be the atoning blood sacrifice (Lev.1:5; 3:2; 4:4, Col.1:14)
The "meal offering" was the only offering that did not have atoning blood, because this offering points
to our good works (Eph.2:8-10) and giving of material things. (Review the "Meal Offering.")
NEXT: The Trespass Offering
I. The Compulsory Sin Offering
The "Sin Offering" provided atonement for the sin of the priest, for the congregation, for the ruler and
for the people. (Lev.9:1-2, Num.6:11; 8:5-8, Deut.12:1-16, Josh.22:1-29, Ezra.8:35, Neh.10:33, Ezk.45:17) Paul,
the apostle and "wise master builder" (i.e. architect) interprets Christ to be the reality of the sacrificed
"Passover Lamb," who was "made sin (the Sin Offering) for us, who knew no sin that we might be made the
righteousness of God in Him." (2Cor.5:7-8, Exod.12:1-14, 1Cor.5:7-8) Note: Christ was without "blemish."
(1Peter.1:19) This was a compulsory offering. There were no options given! This pattern has not
changed! Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. (John.14:6) There is no other "sacrifice for sins."
(Heb.10:26)
A. This foreshadows our"spiritual sacrifice"for sin passed on by Adam.
1. Adams sin passed on to all men
a. By one man sin entered the world (Rom.5:12)
b. Death / sin is passed on to all men (Rom.5:12)
2. This also foreshadows sin after we have beensaved
"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if (If we sin, not whenRom.6:1-12)
any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation
for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." (1John.2:1-2)However we do
sin.
a. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
(Rom.6:12)
b. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves
unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness
unto God. (Rom.6:13)
c. For whatsoever is not of faith is sin. (Romans 14:23)
d. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
(1Cor.8:12)
e. Jesus is a "merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for
the sins of the people" (Heb.2:17) because we still sin. (1John.1:7-10; 2:1)
A. We must offer the Sin Offering first
Without accepting Christ as our Sin Offering, all our offerings are rejected as Cain's was. (Gen.4:1-4,
1John.3:12, John.10:1-10) He offered the "Meal Offering," the "fruit of the ground." (Lev.2:1-3 a correct
offering, but out of order. (1Cor.14:40) Abel's offering was a "more excellent sacrifice." (Heb.11:4) The
blood and body of a Lamb, the firstlings of his flock." (Gen.4:1-4)
B. Watch out for the counterfeit Sin Offering!
In the "ensample" (type - 1Cor.10:11) of the "church in the wilderness," (Acts.7:38) the brazen serpent (that
foreshadowed Christ being made sin for us - Num.21:4-9, John.3:14-16, 2Cor.5:21) was turned into an idol
(another Jesus) that opposed God. (2Kings.18:4)
1. Watch out for another Jesus (another Sin Offering)
There were false apostles coming into the Corinthian Church preaching "another Jesus." (The god of
this world's) counterfeit "Sin Offering."- 2Cor.4:4; 11:1-15, Isa.14:14)
a. There is no other Altar that God recognizes
Any offering that ignores the true Altar, the sacrifice of Christ, the shedding of Christ's blood, the
sweet smelling savor and has any blemish, is another Jesus.
b. Certain men have crept in unawares
In the 1st. Century Jude was warning the Church that there were those the preached "another
Jesus, "another Sin Offering. "For there are certain men crept in unawares...turning the grace of our
God into lasciviousness..." (Jude.1:4) and "denying the Lord that bought them." (2Peter.2:1)
2. Watch out for another Gospel
The Churches of Galatia were being "removed from...Christ unto another gospel..." and were
perverting the gospel of Christ. (Gal.1:6-9)
II. There were standard requirements for each offering
The children of Israel called "the Church in the wilderness," (Acts.7:38) and their typical actions were "for
our (The Church, the Body of Christ - Eph.1:22-23, Col.1:18) ensamples: (types) and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." (1Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4) The reality or the fulfillment
(Matt.5:17-19, Rom.3:31, Heb.9:1-26) of these standards are the same for the Church today. The pattern has not
changed!
A. The Sin Offering was consumed by fire!
1. God's Word is a fire!
Is not "my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh (breaks) the rock in
pieces?" (Jer 23:29, 1Cor.3:13-15)
2. The Holy Ghost is a fire!
He "shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire." (Matt.3:11-12, Isa.4:4) The Spirit (Holy Ghost) and
The Word always work together. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth
was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God (fire)
moved upon the face of the waters. And God(John.1:1) said, (The Word John.1:1-14, Heb.) Let there be
light: and there was light." (Gen.1: 1-2)
3. The Holy Ghost always works together with the Word of God
For "the day" ("the day" of atonementHeb.10:25) shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire;
and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." (1Cor.3:13-15, Isa.4:4) Beloved, "think it not
strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"
(1 Peter 4:12-13) It is all part of the preparation to be the Bride. Don't jump off the altar when the heat is
on! Note: Your Sin Offering will be tested by the consuming fire of the Word of God. Jesus said, "He that
rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the
same shall judge him in the last day." (John 12:48)
B. The Sin Offering was placed on the only altar
Whatsoever "man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that
offereth a burnt offering of sacrifice, And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
to offer it unto the Lord; even that man shall be cut off from among his people." (Lev 17:8-9)
1. Jesus is the "Altar?"
Today, most think of "the altar" as being a bench in the front of the Church. However, the "Most
High dwelleth not in Temples made with hands."(Acts.7:47-48) There is no sacred property in the New
Testament. We are the "holy Temple." (Eph.2:20-22, 1Peter.2:5) We are the ground. (2Cor.4:7) The "altar"
that God recognizes under the New Covenant (Testament) is the Lord Jesus Christ. (Heb.13:10)
2. The altar was the only place of sacrifice.(Lev.17:1-11, 1Peter.1:18-20)
The altar was the only place where blood was shed to provide atonement. (Lev.17:1-11, Exod.30:9,
John.14:6, 1Tim.2:5) Man-made "altar's" could never do this! Even in the Tabernacle model, God said that
He had "no pleasure" because it could never take away sin. (Heb.10:1-10) Your Sin Offering must be upon
the Altar of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are offering upon any other altar than the Lord Jesus Christ your
offering in for nothing.
C. The Sin Offering required sacrifice and the shedding of blood
Our justification before God is always through the atoning blood of the The Lord Jesus Christ. Adam and
Eve "sewed fig leaves," (Gen.3:7) but God slew an animal and covered their sin with "coats of skin" (Gen.3:21,
Heb.4:13) Forasmuch "as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from
your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot." (1Peter.1:18-20, Col.1:14) Your Sin Offering must be through
the shed blood of Christ
D. The Sin Offering required the sweetsmelling odor
Every offering was to have "a sweet savour unto the Lord." (Gen.8:21, Lev.1:9; 2:2; 3:5; 4:31) "Christ...hath
given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour." (Eph.5:1-2, 2Cor.2:15)
This "sweet savor" (Amos.5:21-23) made the offering acceptable to God. Peter writes our "spiritual sacrifices,
(are) acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." (1Peter.2:5, Note: Phil.4:18-19 "odor of a sweetsmelling savor") If you
are giving "preeminence" (i.e. to be first above the "philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.- Col 2:8) then you Sin Offering is rejected. Your Sin
Offering must have the "preeminence" of a "sweetsmelling savor of Christ.
E. Only the priests could offer the Sin Offering
In the Old Testament "ensample" (type, shadow, figure, blueprint) "the priests, Aaron's sons. shall bring
the blood and sprinkle the blood..." (Lev.1:5, 7, 11; 2:2, 9; 3:2, 8; 4:7)
1. Only those born into the House of Levi
a. Jeroboam - There were those the assume the office of a priest, and were rejected. (1Kings.12:30-33;
13:16, 2Chron.26:16-23, 1Sam.13:12; 15:1-35) No "strangers!"
2. No unbeliever! No unsaved!
God still requires that we be found in the correct "register" and "genealogy." (Num.1:47-54, Eph.2:11-19)
that begins in Christ Jesus. (John.3:1-8, 2Cor.5:17-21) If you are not a priest your Sin Offering is for nothing.
God will never "deny Himself!" (2Tim.2:13) He will never deny His Word! He will never deny the patterns in
His Word!
Note: The harmony with Law and Grace. "For the law [of the Sin Offering] was given by Moses, but
grace and truth(Rom.5:10-21, 1 Cor.5:7-8; 6:19-20, Heb.9:1-10) came by Jesus Christ." (John.1:17) Meaning
that Jesus was sacrificed as our sin, fulfilled (Matt.5:17-19) this law of the Sin Offering. Rom.8:1-4)
F. This Sin offering must be unblemished(Lev.22:21-22)
This is what the Prophet Malachi was speaking to the House of Judah. He prophesied "Ye offer polluted
bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is
contemptible. And if ye (you) offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it
not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of
hosts." (Mal 1:7-8) This is robbing God! (Mal.3:8) .
1. This Sin Offering must not be "bind."(Lev.22:21-23)
The blemish of "blindness" (2Peter.1:5-9, Matt.13:10-17, Eph.1:18) Some translations use "heart" instead of "eyes." This does not change the thought of our lack of understanding is being blind. (Matt.13:16,
Luke.24:16, 25-31, 2Cor.3:13-16, Eph.4:18) To offer a "spiritual sacrifice" (i.e. The Sin, Trespass, Burnt, Meal
or Peace Offering) devoid of the Word of God is a blemish of blindness, and is robbing God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8) Note: Matt.23:23
2. The Sin Offering cannot be "broken" (Lev.22:22-23)
Unfaithfulness. (Prov.25:19) To offer any of these five offerings with unfaithfulness in our life towards
God is a blemished offering (Eph.5:26-27) and is robbing God.(Mal.1:8; 3:8) Note: Matt.23:23
3. The Sin Offering must not be "maimed"(Lev.22:22-23)
Maimed is to be crippled or damaged. English: is to mutilate, disfigure, or wound seriously. The Hebrew
word is to point sharply, i.e. (literally) to wound. To offer any crippled offering is to deprive yourself the of
capability for service or of strength, efficiency, or wholeness.
4. Cannot be an offering "having a wen"(Lev.22:22-23)
Having an offering that is mutilated, disfigured, or wounded seriously is robbing God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8 /
Note: Matt.23:23) Paul spoke of those the "corrupt the Word of God (2Cor.2:17) Jude wrote, that there
were "certain men crept in unawares...turning the grace of God into lasciviousness, and denying the only
Lord God, and or Lord Jesus Christ." (Jude.1:4) These "certain men" were disfiguring the Grace of God.
5. The Sin Offering cannot have "scurvy"(Lev.22:22-23)
The word "Scurvy" is from an unused root meaning to scratch;[ to scrape or rub oneself lightly (as
to relieve itching) scurf (from itching) In these "last days," there are those that "heap to themselves
teachers itching ears," because they will not "endure sound doctrine." (2Tim.4:3) When we offer our
"spiritual" sacrifices with the "scurvy" of the doctrines of men that appease our flesh, it is "robbing"
God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8)
6. The Sin Offering must not be "scabbed"(Lev.22:22-23)
"Scabbed"- is to stick or scrape; scurf [thin dry scales detached from the epidermis especially in an
abnormal skin condition; specifically : dandruff] or tetter [any of various vesicular skin diseases (as
ringworm, eczema, and herpes) Our "spiritual sacrifice / offering" must be without the blemish of
allowing yourself to be infected by the popular opinion, trends, fads that infect the Church world, rather
than abiding by the principles and patterns of God's Word (2Sam.15:24-29./v.17, 1Sam.15:24; 16:7,
2Cor.4:18) To offer a "spiritually sacrifice" that is "scabbed," is a blemished offering and robbing God.
(Mal.1:8; 3:8)
7. No "superfluous thing"(Lev.22:22-23)
"Superfluous"- is to prolong, i.e. (reflex) be deformed by excess of members. Our "spiritual offering
must be free of "excess" in our lives. In our walk before the Lord must be in moderation (Phil.4:5 -
[appropriate, i.e. (by implication) mild] 1Cor.13:4, Matt.23:12, 1Peter.5:6) or else it is blemished and robbing
God. (Mal.1:8; 3:8)
8. The Sin Offering must give off a "sweet smelling savor." (Lev.1:9; 2:2; 3:5, 16; 4:31, Eph.5:1-2,
Phil.4:18) Our offering must have the sweet smelling savor of Christ. (Eph.5:1-2, 2Cor.2:14-16)
9. The Sin Offering must be offered by a "Priest." (Num.1:47-54, Lev.1:9, 15; 2:2; 3:2, 16. 1Peter.2:5,
Rev.1:6) We become priests when we are born again.
10. The Sin Offering must be the atoning blood sacrifice (Lev.1:5; 3:2; 4:4, Col.1:14)
The "meal offering" was the only offering that did not have atoning blood, because this offering points
to our good works (Eph.2:8-10) and giving of material things. (Review the "Meal Offering.")
