Leviticus 14:19 Summary

Leviticus 14:19 shows us that God wants us to be clean and free from sin. The priest had to sacrifice a sin offering to make atonement for the person, which means to make things right with God. This is similar to how Jesus Christ died on the cross to make atonement for our sins, as seen in Romans 5:8. After the sin is dealt with, we can then offer ourselves to God, just like the burnt offering in this verse, and live a life that is pleasing to Him, as encouraged in Colossians 1:10.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the sin offering in Leviticus 14:19?

The sin offering is to make atonement for the one being cleansed from their uncleanness, as seen in Leviticus 14:19, and is a reminder that sin has consequences, but God provides a way for forgiveness, as noted in Romans 3:25.

Why does the priest need to make atonement for the person before sacrificing the burnt offering?

The priest needs to make atonement first because it is essential to deal with sin before approaching God with a sacrifice of praise, as seen in Leviticus 14:19, and this is also reflected in the New Testament, where we are called to confess our sins before coming to God, as in 1 John 1:9.

How does the process of cleansing in Leviticus 14:19 relate to our spiritual cleansing today?

The process of cleansing in Leviticus 14:19 serves as a reminder of the importance of spiritual cleansing, which is now available through the blood of Jesus Christ, as noted in Hebrews 9:22 and 1 John 1:7.

What role does the burnt offering play in the cleansing process of Leviticus 14:19?

The burnt offering, as seen in Leviticus 14:19, represents the person's complete dedication to God, and it follows the sin offering to demonstrate that after sin is dealt with, the person can then offer themselves fully to God, as also seen in Romans 12:1.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are the areas in my life where I need cleansing and atonement, and how can I apply the principles of Leviticus 14:19 to my spiritual journey?
  2. How can I, like the person in Leviticus 14:19, demonstrate my dedication to God after experiencing forgiveness and cleansing?
  3. In what ways can I reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which is the ultimate sin offering, and how can it impact my daily life, as noted in Hebrews 10:10?
  4. What are some practical ways I can make atonement for my sins, as seen in Leviticus 14:19, and seek spiritual cleansing, as encouraged in Psalm 51:7?

Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 14:19

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 14:19

And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 14:19

Leviticus 14:19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:Ver. 19. And afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.] We must be reconciled by Christ, our sin offering, before the sacrificing of ourselves - which is our reasonable service - can be accepted.

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 14:19

(19) And the priest shall offer the sin offering.—The other ewe lamb mentioned in Leviticus 14:10 the priest is now to offer as a sin offering, to expiate the sins which the restored leper had committed during his illness, having probably given vent to impatient and unbecoming expressions at his loathsome condition, not as due in consequence of having been in a state of uncleanness. The regulations in Leviticus 5:2-3, refer to cases when through thoughtlessness the unclean person forgot his duty.

Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 14:19

The cleansed leper was now in a position to avail himself of the accustomed law of sacrifice as one completely restored.

Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 14:19

19. Atonement — See Leviticus 1:4; Leviticus 4:20, notes. Burnt offering — See Leviticus 1:3; Leviticus 6:9, notes.
