Leviticus 5: Bring a Trespass Offering

A list of possible infractions is given to illustrate when a person would be obligated to make this offering. Again I am reminded of the fact that it would be easy to limit the number of times that a person would have to do this—just become more conscientious! Think, put your heart into your service, pray to God for help, and say “NO!” to the appeal of trespassing. According to the reading of this chapter, trespassing is possible in all situations, so the need to be vigilant is constant.
