Leviticus 6:27 Summary
This verse is talking about how anything that touches the sin offering becomes holy, or set apart for God's use. This means that the priests had to be very careful about how they handled the offering, and anything that came into contact with it had to be treated with reverence and care. In a similar way, as believers, we are called to set apart our lives and our actions for God's use, and to treat our bodies and our belongings as holy, just as we see in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. By doing so, we can show our love and respect for God, and live lives that are pleasing to Him (Romans 12:1-2).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for something to 'become holy' in Leviticus 6:27?
When something becomes holy in this context, it means that it is set apart for God's use, and it must be treated with reverence and care, just as the priests were to handle the sin offering with care (Leviticus 6:25, Exodus 29:37).
Why did the garment with blood on it need to be washed in a holy place?
The garment needed to be washed in a holy place because the blood of the sin offering was considered most holy, and anything it came into contact with had to be treated as such, in order to maintain the purity and sanctity of the offering (Leviticus 6:27, Exodus 30:29).
Is this concept of something becoming holy still applicable today?
While the specific ritual practices described in Leviticus 6:27 are not directly applicable to believers today, the principle of setting apart things for God's use and treating them with reverence and care still applies, as seen in 2 Corinthians 6:17 and 1 Peter 1:16.

- In what ways can I treat my body and my belongings as 'holy' and set apart for God's use, as described in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20?
