BRAGADAYJAH 296


The non-sweet savor Trespass Offering.

God’s will for His people is that they may be saved; and so He has given us laws and regulations, rules and ordinances to ensure that we, by living by them, will live holy lives.  So while He gave us prohibitive laws, that is to say laws that forbid us to do certain things which are ipso facto morally wrong, example the Ten commandments, He has also provided certain other directives that our lives should be pure and holy in everything we do and say and hear and abide.
            In this connection God provided that if a soul sins and hears the voice of an oath, and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of it, and if he does not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. This is really a prohibition against cursing, or swearing as so many love to do, especially those who use the Lord’s name in vain.
            Also if a person touches any unclean thing, whether it be a carcass, of a beast or a cattle, or some reptile, and whether he is aware of it or not, he shall be unclean and is guilty. Likewise if a man touches an unclean human and knows it not he shall also be defiled; and if he knows about it he is guilty. This is but another instance of the law of God condemning homosexuality/lesbianism/bestiality among others
And in any of the above uncleanness, the person shall first of all confess that he had sinned.
Thereafter he is required to provide a trespass offering unto the Lord for his sin which he has sinned, The offering is to be a female from the flock, a lamb of a sheep or a goat.  He shall take it to the priest and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin. But if the sinner is unable to bring a lamb, then he is required to take to turtledoves or two pigeons unto the Lord; one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. More
